Awesome encounter with a baby Sea Lion!

In this video I Freedive with a baby Sealion for the first time in the Falklands.
A short but amazing experience with such an Inquisitive and playful animal.
It took a while to approach me but once it did, it was happy to play and was very happy swimming around me in circles.
I loved watching this little thing effortlessly glide through the water and swim with me.
One of my favourite moments during my trip to the Falkland Islands.
Enjoy!

Sea lions and fur seals make up the Otariidae family which are "eared seals".

If only people knew this before posting the "Not an Elephant Seal" comment I keep getting 🙄

Hey, how did you discover your free diving spots for the Falklands?
What time of year were you there and were you comfortable diving in your Wetsuit? If so, what mm?

[@OceanicMatt]

Hey, so I used Google maps to find suitable locations and then it was trial and error to find the good spots at each!
I was there Feb- May so autumn time. I had a 5mm suit and I was pretty comfortable to be fair, water was only starting to dip under 10 degrees c near the end!
