Info from Licensor: "My friend and I were on a diving tour in the Galapagos. After our first dive, we were told we could go snorkel with sea lions. Without hesitation, I grabbed my GoPro and headed towards the group of sea lions. As I got closer to them, they started to swim in circles around me. I kept adjusting the leash on my GoPro to take pictures. At one moment, I slipped the leash off and a sea lion snatched it with its mouth. I was shocked and didn't know what to do. I started to frantically chase the sea lion. I made a lunge at the sea lion and it accidentally dropped it from its mouth. I quickly grabbed the GoPro from the sea floor, popped out of the water and started laughing."
