Loon joins scuba divers

[fermandoz]

VERY RARE... LOONS ARE SCARE OF PEOPLE.

[IrrelevantGeOff]

That's so cool!!!

[MichaelBoryAlis]

How rare is this...nice get.

[lahrcm]

@MichaelBoryAlis we see loons while diving quite a bit but I've never seen one "attack" like this again.

[waterfowlrescue]

In captivity loons are one of the most agressive birds towards humans that we handle. They dont hide or run, they charge and attack. It doesnt suprise me to see one coming after a human thats invading what he thinks is his personal space

[levelat350]

THAT IS SO COOL!!!

Once, while snorkeling in these lakes, I a couple of fish following a loon underwater.

[spottopia]

the loon mistakes the scuba diver's flipper for a fish

[jjhendo]

[hziggles]

Thoroughly enjoyed seeing how they actually swim underwater. You sidekick was

happy to be along with you, just seemed jealous that your web feet were larger

than its own. :-)

[bopaj1]

Coolest video in the world. What a treat to have a guest like that join your dive.

Loons can dive up to 600 meters which is really amazing.

[CdnGoose24]

Thank you so much for this vid. It's amazing to get such a beautiful view of the loon underwater!!!

[AlternateMe]

Such a gorgeous, gorgeous bird. Adorable too, the way it was pecking at your flipper. Nice video- high quality and beautiful! ^__^

[siouxlandrenwench]

That was crazy! Thanks for sharing =)

[LifeInTheWild]

I love Loons and this is such an incredible video. What an experience lol!!!

[KoolQcumber]

Duck!It's a loon,and he's coming straight for us.

Phew!That was close!!!!!!!!!!lol

[1HannahMileyChannel]

How'd you get footage UNDERWATER?????????????

[wisfamily]

Amazing. Loons are usually quite shy! Have you been back there since this was taken ? WOnderful footage!

[lahrcm]

Yup, have dove there quite a few times since. I often see loons but nothing quite as up close and personal as before.

[Needsmoreritalin]

Fantastic video!  Some of these birds are shy and aloof and then some of them are very friendly. Here is a video of a friendly one in the process of molting from winter to breeding plumage.

[rvcreations]

great video!

[sarah95pekoe]

Lol. Like greenmts said, he knows your fins are fake, that's why he's angrily pecking at them!

What a beautiful diver loon!

[erinnerinn]

that's a beautiful loon.. i adore those birds.. they're canada's true mascott, at least for me :)

[Birdnut192]

They are not ducks they are divers (thats what we call them in Europe- specifically Great-northern Diver) but over there they call this species the common loon. They are TOTALLY unrelated to ducks. Great footage.

[5stringofFernandoSor]

The coolest duck I ever saw.

[reikofromtokyo]

This is amazing.

[greenmts]

Too excellent!

I love the attack on the swim fin.

It's like he knows it's not part

of your body and he's mad.
