Additional comments:
very inquisitive - came to within a few meters of me. I stayed still, kept the camera going and felt comfortable and relating.

The water depth was about 400 feet but I was diving in the 60-80 foot range when the encounter took place.

This was around early afternoon - it was the 2nd dive of the day.
