I'd be so freaked out about great whites if I was swimming around with an oblivious seal like that..

Seals aren't all that useful as shark detectors. They're usually not around and they look just like attacking sharks when they play their "swoop" game. (They find this quite funny.)

They also play "hide", which often consists of putting their head behind a rock and peeking around to make sure that you're coming by. Yup, they leave their huge body exposed.
