  1. Dive summary records include a dive duration calculated from submergence to emergence in air (as measured by a conductivity sensor) and maximum depth of each dive (as measured from an onboard pressure transducer sampled at 1 Hz). Time-series data were recorded at a 2.5-min sampling period and resampled to 5.0- and 7.5-min periods. Values in brackets indicate ranges
