That one time a harbor seal decided to 'help' with my inspection
I was doing a hull survey on a fishing boat in Kodiak last spring, just me and the usual murky water. Out of nowhere, this big harbor seal shows up and starts nudging my camera rig, like it wanted to play. It kept bumping the housing for a solid twenty minutes, which totally threw off my shot list. I had to surface and wait for it to get bored before I could finish. Has anyone else had a curious animal mess with their gear like that?

Wait, it just kept bumping your gear for twenty whole minutes? That's wild, like it thought your camera was a weird new toy. I can't even imagine trying to get work done with a seal playing keep away with your stuff. Did it ever come back after you surfaced?

Twenty minutes? That's insane, did it not get bored? I would've lost my mind trying to get anything done.
