![Local Diver Captures Footage Of Rare Monk Seal](https://maltadaily.mt/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/sealweb.jpg)
Dive Systems Malta’s Sergey Markov shared footage he and his fellow divers took of the rare monk seal in Maltese waters.
Despite not revealing the exact location of the marine mammal (which many commenters seemingly agreed with), the seal was found hiding in a shallow cave.
‘The Monk Seal is native to the Mediterranean and an endangered species with only an estimated 1,000 individuals still roaming the sea’, he explained.
‘The seal was last spotted in Malta over 30 years ago’, but this proved to be a unique experience for the divers.
