This is one of the few videos we've put out that is unedited but we just wanted to share this funny seal with you.  He came up to us as we were diving off Edmonds, WA (just north of Seattle).  In fact, this is only a clip of the second encounter.  

This seal swam up to us two different times while we were diving in the area.  Both times the seal approached on the surface.  We heard him when he breathed a few feet from us.  I had just enough time to get the camera on to snap this short clip.
Diving that day: Rob Nelson, Haley Chamberlain
