When videographer Gary Grayson went scuba diving in the Isles of Scilly, he had an unforgettable encounter with a seal.
The playful sea creature approached Grayson and showered him with love, much like the diver who received unexpected kisses from a sea lion.
What happens at the :35 mark is the most remarkable moment in the clip, especially if you pay attention to what he does with his flipper. It is reminiscent of the viral video featuring Irish journalist Charlie Bird and an adorable seal in Antarctica.
Since all seals aren't as friendly as the one Grayson hung out with, the once-in-a-lifetime incident left a big impression on the English man.
“I had seen other seals in the water but they just buzzed past us. None was as inquisitive as he was, and none as friendly. We were told just to sit on the bottom of the kelp but the more still we were the more inquisitive this seal was because we were in their world," Grayson told the Manchester Evening News. “This grey seal came across and had five minutes with me, kind of thing. Then another was climbing up my leg. I’m an experienced diver but I have never known anything like that."
