Seal problem

[amihov]

I am sorry for my poor speling .
Any way lets get back to the point.I have a problem i am diving i place where there is seals and for some reason they are stocking me all the time.
I can't swim or dive whitout being tailed from a seal. Last time i was diving i was swimig side by side whit one small seal for more than 1 hour . The animale was swiming whit me in a close distance minimum distance was 0.4 m up to 3 m. On the end i was tired from looking around for the seal and i left the watter. I hade taken my knife out i was planing to stabe the animale if it come closer i was not shure if it was plaing whit me or just traing to push me out of the water.If any body has experience whit seals i will be glad to if he can share his knowledge.
Thank you for reading .
Alex

Hi Alex,
I was just reading your question at spearfish.org and wanted to give you this link: [ame="http://forums.deeperblue.net/showthread.php?t=67952"]seals, are they dangerous?[/ame]
Hope this will answer your questions

HI Alex
Spent an hour in the water with a pair of Seals on Thursday. They are very playful, and just a bit curious, and I really dont think that stabbing them with a knife is the way to go.
I have heard of a seal having a bite on one occasion on the end of a fin, but again, the diver described it to being more like a playful dog would bite on a shoe.

We are talking african Fur seals here, cannot speak for the other species.
