Adult and sub-adult males spend eight to nine months at sea; females and juveniles of both sexes spend ten months. Their dives last from twenty minutes to over an hour with only two to four minutes at the surface between dives. They do this their entire time at sea so they spend about 90% of their time at sea under water.
