Oooh aahh! Allthorpes approx 10 nautical miles offshore. Anchored on north-west of island. Free descent through the blue. Tall cliffs of kelp, abundant fish life and THEN....at least 6 seals joined us for the entire dive. Playful, innocently curious, cute, unafraid. An absolute privilege. I'd say our yelps of happiness could be heard for miles when we surfaced.
