I recently came across the videos below from my Scuba trip to the Farne islands (north England) and forgot how privileged we was to encounter the seals while diving.
Both videos are pretty impressive, all recorded by myself.
Video 1 Video 2
They were actually quite difficult to record, having to concentrate on my buoyancy, breathing, having to watch other seals around me, whilst having to watch the 1" screen on the camera, all whilst spinning round on the spot was quite a task.
Dont forget to watch in 720p
Just thought id share

Its not often I use the word cute, but they are cute, look like they want a stroke and a stick thrown for them lol
Just watching the second video, them teeth  would not want a bite off them, can you stroke them or will they bite?

We spent 3 days up there diving, doing 2 dives a day and they were about on every dive.
Tbh, they are literally like underwater puppies only looking to play and have fun.
By the end of the last day I was brave enough to put my hand in their mouth and they wouldn't bite down.
It's w heavily populated site by divers, they see them every day so they're used to it.
Another good thing was cracking open the sea urchins and hand feeding the large fish

Its amazing how seals dont like humans to be near them when they are lying on rocks out the water but underwater they look calm as fuck.

Im probably on around 2-3 times that 
Most of my dives are logged out of West Bay, Portland or Plymouth.
Are you a BSAC or Padi club? where abouts are you based? do you have a website?
our website ive been working on.

Its very odd, its similar with fish, when your over wrecks etc, swimming through vast scholes of bream and pouting, you can almost touch them.
