00:00- Replying to @BellaLack @JETAR9 and 11 othersThanks 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.
00:00 - 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
00:00 - 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...
