Diving with seals
Help, I am heading to cornwall in june and would love to dive with seals there. Can anyone help with recommending the correct area and a good dive centre who can do escorted dives? Many thanks.

Scilly Isles is probably your best bet.

Try www.starfishdivers.co.uk ask for Craig and tell him Ollie sent you!! He can run out either North or South coast. Seals around St. Ives is a good bet. Ollie

Hiya, I have unintentionally dived with seals a couple of times in the past 6 months - once at Lamorna and once at Roskilly - both in Mount's Bay.
Escorted diving with a marine conservation focus can be done with Silver Dolphin Center in Penzance (PADI 5* centre) www.silverdolphinmarineconservationanddiving.co. uk
Not quite sure on the ethics of seeking out seals to dive with though?
Anyhow, Mount's Bay is wonderful for diving - well worth a visit :)
Hope this helps
Heidi
