Sea Dog

An Australian Fur Seal coming in for his portrait in the waters off Jervis Bay, Australia.
Taken whilst free diving with a colony of male seals in the early morning. They were super inquisitive and would take turns zooming around me as I dove, leaving trails of fine bubbles in their wake as air escaped from their coat.
