Swimming with Sea Lions in Bahia de Asuncion (video)


Heya folks,

Here's a short video of our trip out to see the sea lions in Bahia de Asuncion with Shari and Juan. What a great day. As soon as we showed up they were in the water checking us out and once we got in the water they were all around us. A great day!

Nope. Would have been cool to see them but I don't know if they're even around the place.

that looks fun! we were diving off the south end of San Nicolas Island looking for lobsters and it was murky. it's kinda trippy to see seals darting around in your peripheral vision.

It was loads of fun. I haven't done anything like that in a long time. Everyone had a blast. Water was a bit chilly but Shari made sure we had wet suits which was really nice. After awhile you didn't notice the cold, just sea lions everywhere and one big male barking at me to get lost. :)

What a great way to spend Mother's Day...friends and family out at the island!

the bajagypsy mamma enjoyed watching her son Simon snorkeling with the sealions.

It was an awesome day and so much fun watching the sealions behind you!







We saw a bird I'd never seen before...a red faced cormorant...he had the best hairdo!!!


there were thousands of cormorants on the island
