Isle of Shoals Seal Dive – 20090809

We went out on a seal dive off the Isle of Shoals this past Sunday and had an absolute blast.

We booked the same trip last year but couldn’t get out there due to bad ocean conditions. Our trip out there was nice and easy but the ride back was rather choppy and we paid for it. That said, it was totally worth it.

Here’s a few images from the dive.

This is probably the best dive we’ve been on in New England and I definitely hope to go on it again next year.

The seals were very friendly, curious and absolutely tolerated our intrusion into their temporary summer home. They seem to love nibbling on people’s fins for some odd reason, but it’s quite endearing to see them slowly swimming after an unsuspecting diver trying to catch a fin in their mouth almost delicately.

Highly recommended for any divers in the New England area!
