"Green Water, White Mirth"

An audience favorite at the recent 8th Annual San Diego UnderSea
Film Exhibition, "Green Water, White Mirth" is a delightful look at
the mischievous antics of juvenile Harbor Seals on one of Mike
Boom's dives in the colder waters of the Monterey Bay along the
Northern California Pacific Coast. "I shot this video on a single
dive in April of 2006 in Monterey Bay with friends from my dive
club. We were in sight of the Monterey Bay Aquarium when we dropped
in. We had 3 or 4 juvenile harbor seals who checked us out for the
first half of the dive, then decided to come in and have their way
with us during the second half. It was hard to shoot much video
because 1) the seals kept me too busy (one tucked his head under my
arm asking to be scratched) and 2) I was laughing too hard." Mike
is an underwater filmmaker based in the San Francisco Bay Area of
California. His short films have delighted audiences at numerous
underwater film festivals and gatherings around the United States.
