Whether it "asked" for help or not, it still obviously knew the diver was trying to help, hence why it stayed around and didn't try to kill him.

Good shit.

When I was 17 I able to rescue a stranded seal by gaining its trust.

It was stuck on sharp rock when the tide went out and kept trying to attack the people that were standing around it.

I used a fish to gain its attention and then its trust. People were then able to keep it wet and cool while it lay with its head in my lap until the tide came back in.

It is a truly extraordinary experience to have a wild seal trust you enough to rest its head in your lap with its eyes closed while you stroke its head.

In fact if I stopped it would open its eyes and look up at me as if to say "Why have you stopped?"

Eventually the tide came back in and it was able to escape back to the sea. But not before its swam around playing with all the people that had helped.
