Lmao!! Exactly what I was gonna say
I was on the same dive boat as Ben a couple of years ago in the Farne Islands, near Scotland. Soon as he jumped in the water, the seals came right up to him as if he was their owner and they missed him. They seemed to recognise him and were so comfortable around him. That got my hopes up, but when I got in the water the seals were curious but kept their distance for the most part. Goes to show they really do remember him (plus he's an experienced diver so doesn't scare off the seals like beginners do with jerky movements and lots of bubbles). He also volunteered to unclog the boat motor when it got jammed up with kelp. Thanks Ben!

I suspect that the seals were extremely sensitive in their reading of Ben and you, so that they could feel from him a certain vibe of safety and trustworthiness as well as caring. So they probably gravitated to him as someone they immediately felt was a human they wanted to interact with. As you suggest, the movements and subtle cues of someone less comfortable with them in the water could keep them feeling somewhat wary.

Yep...I noticed in the video one tiny instance where he moved his right hand a little quicker than normal and the seal coming up veered away, not in panic or anything, just in caution. I'm a long time free diver and scuba diver/snorkeler and I learned very early on that if I move slow, steady and consistent all sorts of sea life will appear, from morays to nurse sharks hiding under a ledge and lobsters waving their long antennas at me.
I LOVE seals. Those warm eyes... So much love there. Thank you for the beautiful video.
"They seem to understand what's my equipment and what's me." That's one of the most fascinating things I've noticed watching animal interaction videos. They seem to understand clothing and equipment. Animals seem to be more intelligent than we give them credit for.

Even smarter animals like dogs are complete morons. We've all seen footage of a "smart" dog trying to bring a stick through an entrance that is narrower than the stick, and the dog will just keep smacking into it.

@@jasondashney You’re talking about an animal which has been enslaved, domesticated and ultimately altered from the wild state. We confine dogs and feed them processed foods: of course they will not exist to the full will of their senses. But The fact that you described an animal of our own environment whilst dismissing the entirety of the animal kingdom proves the ignorance I previously stated. And to again, counteract the argument… Have you known humans??? Why do you think we put warning labels on everything? I can guarantee you that animals in the wild are a step above us in brains. They coexist with what gives them life: we destroy our future livelihoods… who is the smart one?

@PurpleRain602 you are the kind of ignorant that haunts my nightmares. As if you have any idea what it means to have a soul, and even more laughable that you think you know who does and doesn't possess one. A smart person would deduce that since humans are animals just like every other creature on earth... if humans have souls, animals do too. I can only imagine you're 9 years old or developmentally disabled to make such an uninformed stupid comment. But ignorant attitudes like yours are what make most animal's lives on this planet a living hell. So for that, I hope you one day experience being regarded with just the same apathy that creates the cruelty animals endure.
I think my heart would explode with joy and the laughter of my soul would reverberate through time and space to the far ends of the universe.

Personally, I used to believe in god, but over time, life, reasoning, and experience made me realized that there is almost certainly no such thing. People created god, not the other way around. What is always so bothersome to me is that those of you who believe always feel compelled to proselytize. It's almost as though you are trying to convince yourselves, and that if you convince others, it bolsters your own belief. I think it bespeaks your and other believer's insecurity.

Many many years ago I had a wonderful seal encounter below rocks on white sand on the east side of Lindisfarne, I was lying on my back on the sand and one drifted down to me, put its paw on my fin and sniffed it then moved up my leg, eventually it's big head and huge eyes looking into my face, I lifted my hand and stroked it on the head for (as you say) what seemed like minutes, but only a few seconds, then in it's own time it drifted off ... only once in my life but a burnt in special experience I share with my daughter, who I'd love to give the experience to.
Such a wonderful video. It’s a beautiful thing to see how inquisitive and affectionate the seals can be. Thanks for showing us your underwater life.
We were meant to share this planet with animals. Every time I see a person like this, show kindness to animals, it seems that the animals always show their true colors….which is to be, at least to an extent, affectionate and kind in return.
The seals are very gentle and playful. Thank you for the the video .
I dove off Fiji with a commercial diver named API and after we watched him feed about a dozen bull sharks, I went on my way to film some coral and as I was just swimming slow at about 45 feet I took my eyes out of the view finder and there, shoulder to shoulder with me was a 8 foot Bull Shark - could have petted him- he just swam with me and then slowly moved on - and I have it on video :) 1996
Какие же они прекрасные , умные и ласковые ! Не знают людей , но чувствуют доброту . 🤗
I'm not a regular diver but I'm an avid and professional boater. I'm 100% convinced seals are the Labradors of the ocean. They love to stick their nose up and say hello, turn off the engines and give them time and they'll come closer, they're clearly intelligent and very curious, they love to play. If I give one of them a snack chances are I'll see that exact seal again next time I'm that spot. Lovely animals. Everyone knows dolphins are smart but seals are pretty smart too.
They're an intelligent animal and they find him interesting. Best way to experience wild-life is on their terms. Wonderful.
Just another proof that every creature enjoys hugs and friendship 🙂💞
Love is genuinely universal. Thank you so much for sharing! And wishing you many years to come with the seals.

@@Nightbird. Thank you bro ❤️
So happy you’re still in the good company of Whiskers…the curious & blissful nature you share in common with sea dogs.
Absolutely lovely! Thank you.
this definitely puts a big smile on your face... so cool to watch.
So Awesome! Seals are the dogs of the ocean!
What a wonderful video. Seals are amazing & a billion people need to see this video.
What a gift to you from the seals. A moment that will never leave you or your soul.
you have been chosen as their friend..that must feel amazing to go into their world and give belly rubs..they are so beautiful
My heart is warm just looking at you and all those seals swimming around you and hugging, trying to get into your arms. It is just awesome. People in the hospital should see this video it is extremely relaxing, all in nature is therapeutic.
My first job away from home was a kayak tour guide off the coast of New Brunswick. It was a really hard time for me but taking people out to see the harbour seals made everything worth it. They would whip under my kayak and constantly flip my rudder up. I’m so grateful for that experience, they truly are amazing!

Seals are the Labrador’s of the Ocean 💜
