While preparing to dive Blakely Rock this morning the water was disturbed by the thrashing of a massive sea lion. It looked like it was feeding on something. I managed to get some footage of the battle. It's choppy because I had the camera setup for underwater use without image stabilization, but you can make out the battle. At one point a seagull runs off with one of the tentacles.

And I know we were on a boat in the Sound but the area was extra especially fishy for a long while after.
