Video of underwater diver Gary Grayson who encountered the most friendly seal off the Isles of Scilly, has become a viral sensation.
Grayson was with the Dive Life group when they were surprised by the seal's interaction.
In a Youtube video posted by Grayson, the seal approaches him and reaches for his hand to shake it. The seal seems to be enjoying playing with Gary, and is even pleased when he tickles his belly. When it was time to say goodbye, it looked the seal was a bit disheartened.
Speaking to Manchester Evening News, Grayson said while there were other seals in the water that "buzzed past" him, they were not as inquisitive and friendly as this one.
Grayson even shared he's an experienced diver and has travelled to Mexico and Cuba, to dive with sharks.
