Amusing footage of a playful monk seal interacting with divers off the coast of Hawaii.

The video, filmed on March 17, shows the seal swimming along with the divers, staring at them every so often.

According to the filmer, he followed them for nearly an hour.

"We had this Hawaiian Monk Seal follow and play with us our entire 54 minute scuba dive.

"At one point of the dive, the Monk Seal actual muzzled the top of one of the divers head, almost like it was smelling his hair."

"Absolutely an amazing underwater experience," he continued.
