I was oblivious to the seal until I saw people onshore filming and gesticulating behind me. He/she was about 10 m away when I turned to look, Seemed like quite a large seal, dark in colour, quite a long muzzle, so I think it was a Grey. As soon as I swam away and got out of the water it swam off, so it was perhaps checking I wasn’t a threat, or just curious?
