Affectionate Seal Rolls Over for a Good Belly Rub From an Accommodating Diver

While diving in the Scilly Isles in 2014, videographer Gary Grayson encountered an adorably inquisitive and affectionate Atlantic grey seal who wanted nothing more than a little attention and a good belly rub, both of which Grayson appeared more than happy to oblige.

People ask me why I go diving….. This is why Thanks to Gemma J Jones for turning my video camera on me for a change while I had a truly magical encounter with quite tame although wild Atlantic Seals.
