This is footage of our Seal Encounter this morning - at Moutohora on the eastern end. Diveworks Charters did a 3 year study in conjunction with Mary Cowling and Rosemary Tully - which enabled us to get a permit to swim with them. One important part of the study is that the seals don't like people being on their rocks, or being higher than them - they get agitated and feel threatened - we always swim in the lagoon - stay away from their 'home' and let them come out to us.

Summer is nearly here! YAY! Just an update for Diveworks Charters - Whale Island Guided Walks - Dolphin and Seal Encounters: we are just about to move into new premises - hopefully over the month of October - and hope to be up and running by end of November early December for trips out to Whale Island or out to sea :) dolphins and seals. Will give you an update in the next week or so with our new address and other details. Phil and Steph from Diveworks Charters.
