Damn! Even when seals sneak up on me I jump.
When I am out there I just tell myself they dont exist. They are like UFO's...alot of talk but no one ever has a good clear picture of one.

They are real and some have had a clear pic of them,up close. Some live to tell about it others not. Keep your knife strapped to your leg and be ready.

Its Spring time, they are feeding on the Seal Pups around the Children's Pool, and WSB.
Be careful around the inside passage, and in the Kelp.

note to self: buy diapers when taking up free diving.

Ray is a very regular customer of ours at OEX and does all my outboard motor repair. His story is definitely true. This sint Rays 1st encounter either. He had a Much larger WSB stolen a few years back.

Speaking to Freedivers on recent trips I have noticed that its a good part of the community that has had a GWS Encounter.
