| One of the aspects of diving that is certainly quite the thrill
is the underwater acrobatic ability of sea lions. They can reach
speeds up to 25mph and often swoop in to within a few feet of
your face and veer off at the very last moment.
Offshore along the coast of California, specifically Garrapata
State Park, lies two large rocks covered in California Sea
Lions. Divers rarely get here, and in fact, I haven't paid
a visit for over two and half years.
I've been skunked before, and not a single sea lion came to
visit, but on this day, they all wanted to play and performed
their part in the underwater ballet.
