Seal makes friend with teenage diver

Many thanks to Michelle Haywood, www.discoverdiving.im for this excellent video
A teenager got more than he bargained for on his first ever dive - after he came across a rather friendly seal. Jamie, 15, was diving off the Isle of Man when he was greeted by the animal - acting like a dog. The wild grey seal can be seen wrapping its fins around the diver's legs and pawing and nuzzling the boy, like an excited little puppy. Michelle Haywood from Discover Diving said: "We were diving around the Calf of Man, a little islet situated on the southern tip of the Isle of Man. "We had been in the water for only a few seconds when the seal approached us, initially tugging on our fins to get our attention.
