entry description
I had that kind of visibility just once in my life in the north sea. I free dived trough the kelp forest for two hours - nothing happened. Suddenly this super friendly female Grey seal showed up from the kelp, I took the shoot, looked on my display and could not believe it – the image I was dreaming of for such a long time was right there, out of nowhere within a second. We played for almost 30 minutes hide and seek. What an encounter!Location: Helgoland, Germany
