That biodiversity includes the hammerhead shark, an important member of aquatic ecosystems in Costa Rica’s oceans.

This picture is part of “Costa Rica Blue: The Underwater Guide,” a book that calls itself “the definitive travel guide to Costa Rica’s underwater world.” Click on the above photo for a higher-resolution version.
