Appreciate the moment...
My #DiveBuddy approached me & is the one in control of this underwater encounter
#Wild grey seal - not a pet!
They seek contact when they trust you.

Thanks Bella - curiosity and they have shown me how to dive to make them relaxed and at ease. I am very lucky and they are very gentle creatures if you respect them.
They enjoy play. I rarely dive with the same seals.
FILMED YESTERDAY
I'd never met this seal before
This is not a pet or tame
This is a wild, young, male grey seal possibly 3-4 years old
I didn't find him, he found me & initiated the interaction at @NTFarneIslands
Thanks @farnesdiving@mickycraig999 @FreeScubaUK
Recently I was told
"Ben you are like a child on Christmas Eve before you go diving with those seals"
I figure, if you can find something that makes you feel that way, you are very fortunate indeed...
