Sea Lion Pup Takes Kayak Ride

At the end of a night dive I had quite the surprise when a very cute baby sea lion jumped on my kayak. Was the sea lion pup escaping a shark in the area? Was he cold? Or was he just playing around? In any case,it looks like I now have a new kayaking buddy. Filmed with GoPro HD Hero2 and GoPro dive housing.

It would be fun to see your underwater footage from the dive, or other underwater shots of sea lions if you got 'em!

I do plan on putting together a compilation video from that dive and few others from the last few months.

Hi Rick out of curiousity what kind of set up do you use for the strap of the dive light and go pro on you head do you use, as well seems like a very good set up, I have been trying but can't seem to find the right dive torch or mounting system

[Rick Coleman]

Niterider has a Scuba hood mount for their headlights and I have one on each side of my hood. Unfortunately the dive division for Niterider has gone out of business so their dive mounts are now hard to find...

He sounds like Nicolas Cage.

I've had a couple people say I sound like Nicolas Cage and a couple of people say that I sound like Kermit. I think the only thing we can say for certain is that Nicolas Cage must be Kermit.
