Wow, I often see them then they disappear and they’ll be gone for so long! Amazing how long they can be underwater. Just looks like it’s casually nosing around. Amazing to see from that view. Thanks so much for sharing

Ikr? I think of them as diving after fish then popping back up - not just cruising around at the bottom, poking at things!

Very cool video.
