A weekend’s diving around Lundy, the granite island off the north Devon coast in the Bristol Channel, and England’s first marine conservation zone. Four dives, to 26 m, in 16–17 °C water.

Lundy is famous for its grey seals, and they didn’t disappoint. Young seals came in close through the kelp, settled in the weed to watch us and nosed right up to the camera before gliding off into the green.
