Seal at MacAbee, 3-26-09

[deltaVPR]

Just my luck...when I come back for spring break the amazing visibility that I have heard stories of this winter dissapears. But all the same I made it down to Monterey today. Lots of crap in the water from the surge the last few days but a few minutes into the second dive we had a seal come and play with us for about 10 minutes. After trying to take a picture and getting a screen full of back scatter I managed to get a few minutes of video.

It was an exercise in how fast I could do a helicopter turn; of course he still got to my fins anyway. My dad had the right idea...just sit on the bottom.

Jim- Unfortunatley it is back to boston for me this saturday. I was kinda dissapointed...my spring break is just the wrong week. If i am lucky I will get to go diving without snow on the ground...maybe the water will have warmed up a degree or two by now. Not likely..but I can be hopeful.

I loved how the seal was showing off. The nipping at the hand reminded me of my cats
