Took a seal trip to Lundy over the summer. It was absolutely ace. A fantastic day with the dive club and lots of interaction with them. They were super playful and one was very interested in my daughter as she was a little upset at first and I think the noise had this one intrigued. Got a nice shot of that seal peeking over my daughter's shoulder when she didn't realise it was there. We hunkered down on dive two and allowed them to play around us, one of the guys got a lot of attention with playful nibbles and swimming around him. Definitely going back next year ;)
Might also want to consider seal behaviour at the surface. If they're all/mostly on the rocks then there could well be a predator lurking in the area that you might want to avoid too. In your kit you just seem like a clumsy seal to a snackish Great White. Not a big issue around UK, but certainly in southern Australia, South Africa, etc.
He sure is, looks like what he did on this channel has been transferred over to there... which is good becuase it means less restrictions not being attached to a retail outlet anymore!
Yep, seals are huge fun to dive with. Agree with all the tips - especially the juveniles being the most playful. Their favourite game is Chicken. Can recommend if ever Down-under, do a dive or snorkel with the seals at Montague Island. It’s off the coast of Narooma on the South Coast of NSW.
Hey @tsonev7 the company that owned Simply Scuba went bust and was brought by a UK discount company called Brand Alley. By the looks of things they only purchased the brand and now the business as a whole, so yeah Simply Scuba is 100% dead and buried which is a shame, but Mark is rocking over on the Scuba Diver Magazine channel so go check that out!
It was all fun and games until they started to try and yank my bright yellow snorkel right off my head, then it was mayhem 🙂 - apparently a frequent occurrence and one reason why some of the local shore divers didn't bring snorkels

I’m in Devon, so Lundy isn’t too far for me! I cannot wait to get a dive there and experience this! It sounds amazing!
We dived Lundy last May and cannot agree with you more. What an amazing day out
I just want to say that at almost 23:00 hours lastnight I ordered from your site! It arrived at 11:00 this morning!
Simply scuba kicks ass!

So Mark is now on the Scuba Diver Magazine channel.

Really sad to hear that Simply Scuba is dissolved 💔
this sucks
What happened to this channel? why no new content? Why is Mark doing videos for another channel?
Apparently the company has been dissolved
@@blair5475 That's sad to hear.
What company is he doing videos for now?
@@mgibso scuba diver magazine
Is your store out of business? The website points to a clothing online shop, nothing diving related lol.

In my experience 10 meters of water a night. But maybe it's just me. Super fun encounters at night.
Very interesting content. Thank you :)
