This is the amusing moment a diver hugged a baby shark while spinning around.

The animal keeper was spotted inside the huge aquarium, along with various sea creatures, at Cebu Ocean Park in Cebu, the Philippines, on December 4.

Footage captured by visitor Chyreen Ray Cainghug shows the playful baby blacktip reef shark approaching the diver, who gently pets it.

Moments later, he hugged the sea creature while spinning around as other fish swim around them.

The filmer said: 'It was so adorable to watch the diver and the shark together. It was entertaining and a memorable show.'

Researchers said that blacktip reef sharks are generally a docile species, not known to be aggressive towards humans. They are typically shy and will often avoid divers and snorkelers.
