These massive creatures are often seen breaching the water’s surface, spouting water out of their blowholes, and swimming alongside boats. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you’ll never forget! Dolphins We’ll provide tips on the best time of year to visit and where to find the seals for the best experience. You’ll also learn about the local conservation efforts and eco-tourism options available in this area. Swimming with Seals in South Africa
One of the best ways to preserve the memories of your seal swim is to take plenty of pictures and videos. This will allow you to relive the experience again and again and share it with others. We found that Grey seals still use their paws to hold their prey when processing it, but other seals like Leopard seals have foregone this ability to maximise their swimming speed and agility, being able to capture more mobile prey,' says Travis. While they may seem intimidating, sharks are actually fascinating creatures that play an important role in the ocean’s ecosystem. Depending on the location of your seal swim, you may be able to spot a variety of different shark species, such as great whites, hammerheads, or tiger sharks.Swimmer’s ear is typically caused by repeated exposure to water, which can make the ear canal more vulnerable to inflammation. This can encourage bacteria or fungus to grow.

The great divide
Despite living in the same environment and doing largely the same things, seals have evolved two distinct ways to swim.
Seals are known for their playful and curious nature, but they can also be easily stressed by human interactions. In this section, you’ll learn about the dos and don’ts of Swimming with seals. An eared seal is an important member of the marine mammal family Otariidae, one of three groupings of pinnipeds/ seals. commonly known either as sea lions or fur seals, distinct from true seals and the walrus. They rely mainly on a rowing motion of their front flippers for propulsion. Because they are able to turn their hind flippers forward, they can use all four limbs when moving on land.The approach to preventing “water-related ear canal inflammation” with or without infection requires a major paradigm shift. At the lagoon, the water is crystal clear from the unpolluted Atlantic Ocean with a white shell sand beach, surrounded by fringing kelp forest reefs. This marine paradise holds a large resident seal colony which we snorkel with, holding both the common/harbour seal and its' bigger cousin the grey seal. Sometimes these curious animals will swim over to greet us when we arrive! Our guides will explain how to get the best interaction with these wild animals, and also show you all the wonderful critters hiding amongst the kelp. Consider using a hairdryer on low heat to gently blow air into the ear canal but don’t do it for longer than a few seconds, and try to do both canals almost simultaneously (well a few seconds apart!)-otherwise one could get dizzy (so-called caloric effect). However climate changerepresents the single largest threat to many species of pinnipeds, especially those that rely on sea ice. Various species of Arctic seals rely on ice for breeding, for instance, while walruses use seasonal ice formations to forage for food farther from shore. Fun facts Depending on the location of your seal swim, you may be able to spot whales, dolphins, sharks, and sea turtles.
