TheScubaSherpa | 150 Followers | Sea Lion Selfie

Hey Steemers!

Happy Saturday everyone! In celebration of 150 followers, I'd like to thank you with this Selfie with a Sea Lion!

This Sea Lion thought it would be a good idea to munch on my regulator hose during a dive in the Sea of Cortez. Thankfully I whipped my GoPro around in time for this shot, but it was the weirdest feeling for a few seconds. I honestly had to tighten my reg set when I got back on the boat, he really got a hold of it!

*Camera - GoPro Hero 3+ Black / with red filter

  • Regulator - Atomic ST1

Hi, always great to find more SCUBA divers on steem! Please post more photos.

I see you're also a divemaster, but maybe you'd be interested in reading my blog about becoming a divemaster in South Africa: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@deimus/introduceyourself-the-story-of-jack-part-1-5-scuba-divemaster

Hey! Thanks! Always nice to meet a fellow diver. I'll check it out!

Wow 2 dive masters on steem!
I think I'm good with just going on a few more DSD but you guys are an inspiration. 😉 followed and will check your post out

looks like a great experience! Looking forward to your next post :)

i'd love to dive, only if i didn't have a phobia for drowning and suffocating. Amazing picture

Oh no! Thank you. You can do it!
Don't be afraid, fear can't hurt any more than a dream.

I had the same fear especially when I found my insurance has a clause not covering scuba incidents. But its a different world down there. Too beautiful to not see at least once in your lifetime.

Nice one ! I just went scuba diving also and posted some photos of my trip. Hope you can check it out in my blog. Congrats on the followers! I'm one of them 😉

good job but, having a lot of followers doesn't mean anything if they don't really interact with you when you post something

That is true, more curators are always needed.
Followed you.
Keep it steemy 😎

Nice story. 😀 You think he could have damaged the regulator, or he could have pulled it off? You got scared at the moment?

Thanks! I wasn't super scared, you try not to think about the worst when you're down there. He couldn't have pulled it fully off, but he could have ruptured it. My hose still has teeth marks. 😳

This is exactly what freaks me out about scuba diving! LOL! Great reaction to get the pic!!
