Awesome vid! The colors of the kelp forests/reefs are insane

They are! Thanks for watching!

So rad! Beautifully shot! I dig the kelp forest adventure. Recently went freediving in a kelp forest for the first time and it's gorgeous! Love the little swim throughs but you can definitely get tangled up. I was right there with you on that kelp moment you were narrating it was lovely. They're tagged as sea lions in the description but were being called seals in the video. Those are definitely sea lions and not seals. I'm planning to buy a DSLR with housing in hopes to get some lovely shots like these! Big inspiration! Looking forward to more video adventures from you!

Well noted :) Cape Fur Seals are in fact Brown Fur Seals (a similar type is also found in Australia) and due to several physical features, including external ear flaps (pinnae) they have been described as the most sea lion-like fur seals.

@@JdeVos Wow Cape Fur Seals do look so much like Sea Lions! I just see the big span of the flippers and the way they spread them out like they're flying through the ocean and think Sea Lion. So fun to watch.

Thanks @JdeVos for clarification- we did correct the description to reflect that they are in fact seals.

I like the idea of a backup camera in case our luggage gets left behind.

Absolutely! When relying on luggage transfers two is one and one is none.
