Scuba Diving with Grey Seals - Lundy Island, Devon, UK (4k) HDR, HLG - Panasonic GH5s
Underwater Scuba Diving with Grey Seals at Gannets Bay on Lundy Island in Devon UK. A follow up video (and trip) to Lundy Island to Scuba dive with the incredibly cute Grey (atlantic) Seals. This video is produced in HDR HLG 4k and is best viewed on compatible devices.
Due to bad weather our week long trip was shrunk to just one of diving which means this video was taken over just two dives. The amount of content I recorded was limited due to visibility and lighting, but this video goes to show how incredibly friendly and playful the seals are - even on just two dives.
The weather was quite overcast, so it looks a bit dark, and if watching in HDR you'll see how amazing the brightness and colours can be. Using mostly ambient light and 2x Keldan 4x lights to illuminate the seals on some clips - mostly all shot in depths of around 4-5 metres.
I hope you enjoy this peaceful video, and please like / share and subscribe for more underwater content. Any comments welcome too 👌🏼

Thank you very much Juan 🙏🏼
Very nice video Daniel and those seals are so cute! If u don't mind i have a diff question. I bought a GH5S recently and the body makes a rattling noise if shaken as if something is loose inside. I've seen others online saying it's IBIS but the S model does not have that. Does yours make the same noise? Just concerned in case I received a defective product. Btw, I really like the colors produced by these cameras.

Thank you, yes the seals are amazing to dive with… if you’ve not dived with them before it’s definitely worth a trip… I’m afraid I can’t help with your question - I sold the GH5S in favour of a Sony A7Siii for better HDR underwater videos… having said that I do not remember the GH5S having a rattling noise. Hope you get to the bottom of it.
