Abstract
A female scalloped hammerhead shark (Sphyrna lewini) conducted a species record deep dive to 1240 m in coastal‐pelagic waters off Hawaii Island. This extends the deepest known depth range of the species by over 200 m (650 ft) and highlights the question of the extent to which deep‐diving activity is mediated by physiological constraints, such as temperature and oxygen availability.
