Spearfishing Adventure to Wilson's Promontory - Swimming with Seals

In this video some mates and I went spearfishing at Wilson's Promontory on a calm sunny day in Victoria, Australia, 2.5 hours southeast from Melbourne. We were freedive spearfishing around a group of islands, looking for target species of fish and crayfish. We encountered heaps of life, speared a few fish each to take home and had a great time.
One of the highlights of the dive was swimming with Australian Fur Seals!
Note that while there are no restrictions on how close you can get to seals in Victoria when in the water (although use common sense), there are various restrictions on approaching seals on land, approaching seals when in a vessel, and vessel approach distance to designated seal breeding colonies.
Always educate yourself on local regulations and please dive safely.
Here are some resources to review about seal regulations:
