Diving can be one of the most thrilling activities that someone can undertake.
It is a sport that requires steady nerves and a brave heart.
However, there are many risks involved in diving as well.
As a result, divers must make sure to take care of themselves and be prepared for anything
that could happen underwater.
However, this is not the case for Gary Grayson, who somehow stumbled upon the friendliest
seal.
Going scuba diving is one of the coolest things a person can do.
Not all people have the guts to go behind the ocean's waves and face their fears, but
those who do are rewarded with amazing sights.
However, some people take it to another level by doing this next thing.
Experience divers like Gary Grayson, Love to suit up and head on underwater exploring
adventures.
Gary has seen many amazing things throughout his career as a diver and this taught him
to always carry a GoPro camera with him.
You won't believe what he captured during one of his adventures!!
Gary Grayson is a 55-year-old, thrill seeker from Salford UK, and he loves to dive around
the aisles of Scilly, even though he is not young anymore.
Gary is still an amazing diver and there's a good reason why he chose to dive next to
these islands.
Keep watching to see what made Gary come to this place!
The reason why Gary loves visiting the aisles of Scilly is that there are many seals around
that place.
Seals are known as the dogs of the ocean, and that's because they are quite friendly.
However, Gary was surely not prepared for what was about to happen!
Gary knew right away, what he wanted to do when he first arrived at the aisles of Scilly.
Immediately after booking a hotel room, Gary put on his suit and went straight into the
water.
You won't believe what he saw after being underwater for a couple of minutes!
As Gary was enjoying the underwater view, he heard something moving right next to him.
He got scared at first, but then decided to turn around and try to capture on camera,
what was making those weird noises?
What was it?
To Gary's relief, the weird noises were coming from a seal.
The seal was coming to say “Hi”, but Gary was still worried because he didn't know if
it was friendly or not.
The seal might have felt threatened by Gary's presence in the water.
However, this weird thing happened next, the seal came straight to Gary's face.
He was still unsure how to feel about this and he was a bit worried not to get bit.
Things got a little bit tense when the seal got even closer to Gary's face.
As the seal was getting closer, Gary realized that it didn't want to harm him.
The seal was just curious to see, who Gary is? and what he is doing next to its home?
What's even more interesting is that the seal didn't get scared by the camera!
Why were the animals so confident around Gary?
while most animals tend to shy away from cameras, this wasn't the case for our friendly seal.
Gary's theory is that this was not the first time, this seal has been visited by humans
and this is why it felt so comfortable around them.
Gary couldn't believe his eyes after this, the seal grabbed Gary's hand and started shaking
it.
This was baffling Gary; he didn't know how to react other than just shake back.
Although this moment lasted only a couple of seconds because the seal let go.
What did it do?
Next, Gary was a little sad that the seal let go of his hand.
Nonetheless, this was an amazing moment and little did Gary know that the animal had more
in store for him?
Check out what the seal did afterward!
The friendly seal grabbed Gary's hand once again, but it wasn't shaking it this time.
What could the seal want the seal?
The seal turned with its belly up.
Gary owned a dog and whenever he did this, it meant only one thing.
Could the seal want belly rubs?
Gary decided to take the risk and went for it.
Gary started giving the friendly seal some belly rubs.
This was a risky move because the seal could snap and bite his hand.
Luckily for him, this was exactly what the seal was looking for!!
The seal seemed to enjoy this belly rub so much that it started getting more comfortable.
At one point, Gary tried to take his hand away from the animal and he will never forget
what happened afterward.
When Gary tried to take his hand away, the seal firmly pushed his hand back.
He was loving the affection; Gary was giving it.
The seal laid back as soon as Gary started rubbing its belly again.
This is a once in a lifetime experience and Gary was looking to make the most out of it.
Seals are known for being friendly, but this one took it to the next level.
I am sure that Gary would've never guessed in a million years, that he would spend his
afternoon petting a seal underwater.
You might see this at an aquatic park, but never in the devotion.
After a couple of minutes passed by, the seal decided that it was time to part ways with
Gary.
The seal, then came close to Gary's face as to say goodbye!!
Luckily, Gary had his camera with him to document this friendly underwater encounter.
Who would have thought it's possible?
