Harbor seals are genetically closer to bears than dolphins or dogs, so technically they’re just little friendly sea bears 🧬🦭🐻 #cuteseal #seal #harborseal #marineconservation #freediving

Respect the ocean and it will show you things most people never see.

Harbor seals are “pierce feeders”
that means they grab fish and just swallow it whole or rip it into big chunks with their front teeth

they do have molars but those are more for crushing than chewing

built for pure efficiency

friendly reminder

Barracuda cruising the deep blue 🌊🐟

Barracuda are apex predators built for speed. They can reach speeds of up to 36 mph in short explosive bursts to ambush their prey 🤿

This was one of the most memorable dives I’ve ever been on. Being in the water with a tiger shark has been a dream of mine since I was a kid. We ended up seeing 3 tigers this day, and I already can’t wait to get back out there. These animals aren’t the monsters people make them out to be, they’re intelligent animals that deserve our respect and protection 🤿🦈🌊

Despite their reputation, sharks aren’t the monsters people make them out to be. They’re essential apex predators that help keep the ocean balanced and healthy. Humans kill an estimated 100 million sharks every year, while attacks on humans are extremely rare. Protecting sharks means protecting the ocean itself 🌊

Green sea turtles are among the largest and most ancient marine animals on Earth. They’ve roamed the oceans for over 100 million years, growing up to 5 feet long and weighing over 500 pounds. They get their name not from their shells, but from the layer of green fat beneath them 🌊🐢

#honu #seaturtle #turtle #greenseaturtle #freediving

Green sea turtles were once heavily hunted for their meat, eggs, and shells, causing major declines in their population. Thanks to conservation efforts, they’ve been making a strong comeback.

I love coming across these guys on a dive — they all have different personalities. This one wasn’t bothered by me at all and actually swam right up to me. Such a cool experience 🤿🐢
