Beautiful animals, and you got nice shots of them. What water temp.s? The chance for pinniped diving in warm water might lure some divers in.

So 77 to 78.8 degrees Fahrenheit. Pretty warm...I've had been fine in a 3 mm shorty, but I've got some natural insulation, 'bioprene,' and don't get as cold as some.

I'm glad they're accessible in warm water; a lot of people want to dive with marine mammals, including seals and sea lions, but some folks avoid cold water like the plague.

I always thought of sea lions as flying dogs but, no, they are so much more.

Thank you so much for these incredible photos.

It was the right period... in other month the temperature is colder....
Unfortunately I have not too much "bioprene" insulation ahahah... and getting older my sensibility to cold temperature is getting worse.... actually I can dive only with 5mm and a under wet suite.... or I freeze.... ahah
