    wow…what a perfect shot! I would love to get close enough to these beauties to take a picture like this! Love what your doing :)

  • Eyal Nahmias replied

    Thank you. The truth is that it’s quite easy getting close to them, just keep a distance that is accepted by the seal and make sure you’re in the same eye level, i.e crawl on your belly.. They will “let you know” when you crossed their “safety” line… Thanks for the comment. Much appreciated.
