Cove 2 Seal

Has anyone given this seal a name yet? I'm talking about the lighter colored one with the tan patch on it's lower left hand flank. I've seen it on like, 90% of the dives I've done at Cove 2 for the last few months. I feel like if it's that much of a regular, it should have a name. Fishchomp McSiltsplosion maybe.

I had the most amazing solo dive (well I guess not solo) with him the other week. He found me at around 80fsw and followed me around for over a half hour back to like 3' of water. Very playful.... and hungry!

I think we should call him Butters.

I think that's the one. The tan patch has gotten a bit lighter, but I think I can see it im the video.

Butters Siltbomb!
