Diver's Notes

Spelunker’s Wall 2 - Interesting interaction with a harbor seal. Fortunately I had the go Pro charged up to the max and was able to capture our interactions with a cute harbor seal. He was nipping at my fans as I was swimming along. I turned around expecting to see my friends hang of it and some help when I noticed this 4 foot harbor seal right behind me. I was a bit alarmed at first but then started enjoying the interaction. I was only covering about 4 feet over the ocean floor and when he saw made note of them he went and laid on it between two rocks just staring at me. I wasn’t sure exactly what I was able to do or if it was even safe to catch him so I just waved at him and continued swimming on. He ended up swimming at the high Mark and nipping at his friends also as well as some of his equipment. He did not even notice the interaction until the seal swimmed under him. The video was actually pretty cool.
