Great shot Matt. Always wanted to dive with Seals, maybe one day.

WOW! Love those eyes & the color of the water

Thankyou mikrin,velveteagle,micmac,Antanas,Mugsy,Dharna & Jodie.

I’ve always been a bit concerned about swimming with seals because of the sharks – but I’ve often approached them from the safety of a boat. They are smelly critters – so I guess that’s the one advantage of approaching them underwater – no smell. Great image!

Superb magical image!

so cool. great image.

Wow, what a view, not one most of us will ever see
