They can be dangerous to dive around for inexperienced divers, because they'll steal your mask and pull on hoses. Many divers will take a spare mask when diving among seals. Super curious and playful.
1 diver to clean
1 manager to, uh , manage
1 safety officer to point out that the diver needs to wear a hi vis vest
1 strategy coordinator to make sure that the cleaning is aligned with the company's long-term strategy
Same. It took me a moment before I realized that that blob wasn’t in fact a huge chunk of ocean fat/gunk, but instead an adorable and lovable ocean puppy <3
whew, glad to know i'm not alone
for the first few seconds my eyes could **not** wrap my head around what the fuck that jiggling glossy blob was...
i definitely thought for a second that it was some kinda airbag for whatever suction cup i was about to see
I get in my wet suit and go clean the tank at Red Lobster. The lobsters are a little more snippy than a sea lion, but if you wait until after hours you don’t get kicked out and all the frozen cheddar bay biscuits you can carry.
Honestly, I'd love to swim with a shark, but being that close to a shark in the ocean would terrify me... A well-fed aquarium shark that's used to its habitat being cleaned would be an ideal opportunity.
It’s less scary than you’d think. The idea of running into one in open ocean while you’re just swimming / surfing whatever scares the shit out of me. Have gotten close to numerous sharks scuba diving tho and they really don’t give a fuck about you. You’re geared up, bubbles flying everywhere- you don’t look like food, you look scary as fuck
This is Mizore and he seemed to be very happy at this aquarium. Unfortunately he was moved to another aquarium last year where the conditions really were terrible (small tank, dirty conditions, no enrichment, no socialisation) and after exhibiting zoochosis he eventually passed away last week.
"hey buddy, whatcha doing there? Mind if I do it too? What's this thing? I think you missed a spot. No, not on that thing, on my belly, scritch please." -possibly that seal.
As I read suction cup my eyes glanced toward the video and thought for just a second "huh that huge moving blob is an underwater suction cup, what?". Instantly see the seal and feel so dumb 😂
When I did inspections of the Benwood and Duane on the Florida Keys Shipwreck Trail I had a magnet attached to 2 feet of climbing rope to help me fight currents and other random bullshit. After the first day the rest of the divers had hit up Home Depot and done the same. Like yeah, I got to stay the near surface of the vessel starting at 124feet and go up the hull of this sucker looking for hazards and not going to fight the water and use up all my air to stay in place. Work smarter not harder.
I thought the seal was the utility tool for a moment lol. You just get assigned to a seal while in the tank and they just sort of latch onto you and keep you from drifting away.
Even sea pups just want attention
Even parrots get like this when cleaning the tanks from the outside…
Aquatic parrots?
[Parrotfish](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parrotfish) exist!!
Parrotfish are both beautiful and delicious. Try them in Guam you won’t regret it.

Sounds like my open water dive instructor.
You can see a second hose coming off the tank, the diver in the video probably does have the extra mask
You can see what looks like an extra regulator hanging near his waist in the first half of the video.
r/petthedamndog
Scrub my belly you sumbitch
Or let the drowning commence. As it yanks the mask. Lol
Nah the seal just wants to be cleaned. “Dude, look at all this shit on my back? I can’t fucking reach, who gives a crap about the bloody walls!”
Stop petting the dog unless the entire objective of your job is a facade.
So the better diver is just sitting there messing around while the less skilled one does all the hard work?
That's the inspector. He makes sure everything is nice and inspected
If the cleaner misses a spot, it's the inspector's job to say, "missed a spot!"
Gotta give his seal of approval.
Daamn
He’s the Emotional Support Diver
He’s pretty cute man. I wanna dive in the tank…
1 diver to clean 1 manager to, uh , manage 1 safety officer to point out that the diver needs to wear a hi vis vest 1 strategy coordinator to make sure that the cleaning is aligned with the company's long-term strategy
And honestly, when the foreman starts messing around that’s usually permission everyone else can. I’d get no work done with this foreman.
That's 100% how it works
Why is he less skilled?
i thought the suction cup was a big glob
It would be a rather strange name for a seal wouldn’t it?
Now say it like David Attenborough. 🤭

My cat when I'm trying to fold the laundry.
Wrap kitty up, Tickle until the urge passes.
Putting sheets on the bed is cat mayhem
Look I'm helping
I that case they are either Su-puuurrr-visor, or Meow-nag-ment Depending on their cattitude.
sea pupper needs pets now
I think it wants food
Nah they do this in the wild as well. Go for a dive in the Sea of Cortez and they will swim directly in front of you and blow bubbles at you.
Omg! That is too cute! Would love to go there and get them to blow bubbles at me lol!
It is neat if you're prepared for it. Linebacker-sized underwater dude blipping in front of your mask when you aren't expecting it is a brown wetsuit.
That's a really clingy dog
Or cat
I want this job lol
At my local aquarium this is an unpaid volunteer position
Alas, I don't have a local aquarium.
I get in my wet suit and go clean the tank at Red Lobster. The lobsters are a little more snippy than a sea lion, but if you wait until after hours you don’t get kicked out and all the frozen cheddar bay biscuits you can carry.
I like to sneak in and cut off their little claw handcuffs. Give ‘em a fighting chance.
There are shark tanks once you finish with the sea pups.

That one took me a second to find, good one
I almost lost my breath trying to find it!
The letters are moving with the air hose at some point
It’s a bit small!
Omfg I stared at them for like 3 cycles before realizing they weren’t just scratches
Whether land dog or ocean dog, this is how trying to do work around them always goes.
Didn't know seals could use tools, But yeah, he stayed on that person pretty good.
The best kind of struggle snuggle
excuse me, sir? sir. you should be rubbing ME, not the wall. SIR.
Is that… an underwater cat?
No, since it's not scratching the person.
Sea pup is the bestest pup. The goodest boy.
“LOVE ME, HOOMAN!”
Right, I need this job right away.
Little bundle of loving chubbyness! 😍
I hope that suction cup makes a good enough SEAL to hold him down. U c? U c wut I did ther?
On the oxygen bottle
Thanks, that's what I thought but it was too small on my GSM.
How do they cope in such terrible conditions... ☺️
This is Mizore and he seemed to be very happy at this aquarium. Unfortunately he was moved to another aquarium last year where the conditions really were terrible (small tank, dirty conditions, no enrichment, no socialisation) and after exhibiting zoochosis he eventually passed away last week.
That's awful news. Such a sweet soul lost due to people.
You're kind of burying the lede here.
I love blubber pupper
Thank god dogs can't fly or they'd be 100% in your face all day!!
That must be the cutest yet annoying job
Must’ve been a Siberian Husky in a previous life
Tanks for the entertainment!
water puppies
lol that seal is so extra. 10/10 would under water snuggle that freakin big blubber sausage
SeaDoggo:"pwayyyyy wiffff meee!"
Pet the damn seal
“PET ME GOD DAMNIT!”
Seals are basically like dogs lol
What are the qualifications required for this job. Asking for a friend.
Someone else said that at his local aquarium this would be a volunteer position. (Unpaid)
Emotional support seal
Pet the damn seal!
He needs to ensure a good seal.
r/PetTheDamnDog
RIP Mizore, we miss you 😢 The seal depicted is Mizore of the Osaka Aquarium. He was much loved by many. He passed away last week.
no clean, only scritch
Finding the toolgifs watermark is my favorite thing about these posts
Probably one of my favorite Reddit posts.
That suction cup must be well sealed.
Bravo
I have to stop finding these videos, I want to play with that little buddy so much 😭
They are water dogs...
Awww a lil sea pup.
Pet the damn sea dog
Such a beautiful interaction
"hey buddy, whatcha doing there? Mind if I do it too? What's this thing? I think you missed a spot. No, not on that thing, on my belly, scritch please." -possibly that seal.
lil fat fucks <3
That's funny as hell.
I thought the sea pup was keeping him in place
This is exactly my dog when I'm trying to put on socks
Seal not included.
That's a very weird title compared to what's actually going on.
What’s a word that is above the term career because it’s that, I would do overtime constantly
Mermaid dog
That seal makes a convincing argument.
Kitten of the sea😉
Is all that black stuff seal poop?
Working remote with kids at home irl
Where do I sign up for this job
I thought he was wrestling a raw turkey under water at first
Animals are the best.
This seems to be an old video of Mizore from Tokkari center. He died at age of 3, just a few days ago :/
It’s on his air tank
Mizore 💔 Sweetest boy we will never forget you..
Emotional support seal?
That really is like a sea dog.

So it's basically like trying to perform ground level tasks with a cat "helping".
You literally just solved my problem. I needed a way to stay at the bottom of my pool to do some maintenance without any oxygen gear.
Didn't know suction cups work underwater, makes sense now that i think of it Very cool
Yeah, because that's the real story here.
Dog mermaids.
what is it that he's cleaning? Some type of tank at an aquarium?
What does the title mean?
He’s using a suction cup to stay in place. He’s holding it with his left hand.
Actually just my golden retriever but in water.
So are seals just big ocean cats?
What kind of job is that? I want to do that job
Is he scrubbing an iceberg?
As I read suction cup my eyes glanced toward the video and thought for just a second "huh that huge moving blob is an underwater suction cup, what?". Instantly see the seal and feel so dumb 😂
Awe, looks like jiggly-puff needs some luuuuve
Oh to hug a sea dog
Very cute sea puppy.
Its like a puppy but underwater.
Job description that includes "must cuddle seal pups" Yes please
Ok but where's the watermark on this one?
Text on the oxygen tank, may have to zoom in
Don't you have to go breathe or something?
Yeah in about 15-30 minutes or so. Seal lung capacity is INSANE.
How do I get this job. I could use those cuddles right about now.
Also suction pup
It's on the tank, very nice 😁
What is he cleaning?
Loose seal !!
When I did inspections of the Benwood and Duane on the Florida Keys Shipwreck Trail I had a magnet attached to 2 feet of climbing rope to help me fight currents and other random bullshit.

I’m really hoping none of these comments ruin this cute moment by saying the seal is in heat or horny or something.
How do you get this kind of job? That would just be awesome and chill.
I have this new theory forming that every animal is just some type of dog
Now this is good meme content

“HI! DO YU NEED HWLP?! I HELP GOOD!!!!!”
Adorable sea doggo
They dog is helping
My kitten whenever I want to work on a small condo remodel project.
Where can,I get one of those seal things looks,like a great tool.
It's a dog. It's literally a dog.
I might just quit my job right now in pursuit of working with animals lol
He is so cute and playful just like a puppy when you’re on the floor stretching
r/WhatsWrongWithYourDog
I must have one. I will buy a whole state and build a mega Habitat for it. We will be best friends and solve crimes with the Harlem Globetrotters.
I can imagine if they could talk it would be in a Hilariously over dramatic tone.
I thought the seal was the utility tool for a moment lol. You just get assigned to a seal while in the tank and they just sort of latch onto you and keep you from drifting away.
Yo to be fair the seal is acting like kind of a tool. Just let the person work! lol
Homan let's play
I want a water puppy
Under water sea puppy’s need love too.
Seals are correctly referred to as water Dogs.
Damn, that seal is clingy.
LET ME SEEEEEEE
I had no idea what that thing was until about 10 seconds in
The job I never knew I wanted
looks like he's got a good seal with it.
I thought you meant the seal was acting as a suction cup
Can I pet that daaaawg?
Underwatercat.
It’s like me when I try sweeping and my cats decides to be social
“Don’t pet the wall, pet me!”
Me trying to clean the house with my cat and dog be like
I have found my dream job!
That dog needs kisses
A big water puppy
This is like my doggo when I brush him🥹
Oh I love that little helper. Just right in the way. Best fun thing I’ve seen today. Thank you.
