A group from Cardiff BSAC took a 4 day trip up to the Farne Islands a few weeks ago. None of us had been before, so we took all the kit we would expect to use while diving there. That would be twinsets, pony cylinders spare cylinders, decanting whips etc. etc.
The weather wasn't allowing much choice, with most of the diving having to stay close to the Lee of an island to keep out of the wind and swell. We ended up doing 2 dives a day pretty much on a single cylinder. This meant that we were visited by the friendly local seals on nearly every dive.
I've put together some footage taken from a single 50 minute dive with literally dozens of seals, so friendly we ended up stroking them by the end of the dive.
It's only 6 minutes long and also in High Definition if you have the connection speed.
