Hi Steemians
You have seen my boobies! now let me bring you some sea lions!
These super social mammals were one of the many highlights on a recent trip to the Galapagos. We decided rather than going on a cruise, to Air BnB and try and do as much free stuff as possible. We had heard so much about the Sea Lions we asked our host for the best place to see them. Fortunately for us he knew just the place, so we packed our gear and set off!
When we arrived we had the place to ourselves and within seconds of jumping into the water a huge sea lion came straight for us… I’m not going to lie I was a little nervous, however he was just checking us out and making sure we were not a threat - as soon it became apparent that he was protecting his young!
We gave him plenty of space but couldn’t help but go near his pups as they decided we were a lot more fun than Dad! fortunately he let them play with us and we spent the next couple of hours playing with Sea Lion pups 😃
The was one of the most incredible experiences in my life!

what a nice experience! I've swum near sea lions in Lima Perú but the water here is not as as transparent as in galapagos. I am sure Galapagos is the best place to see and enjoy sea life.

Hehe I know the feeling - I'm glad you shared them, they're great shots!
Ohhh shit I didn't even realize. My bad. BUT - you'll absolutely love diving. I started with snorkeling for like 3 weeks too with my ex, then she finally sunk me for my first time. And I loved it :D
Definitely get your cert!! I don't have my open water yet but I'd love to get it here in Thailand down on the islands.

Oh shit nice! I still need to check out Pai - I've been to Chiang Rai and up to Laos, but no Pai yet.
The north is quite nice - it's getting into rainy season now, so it's good to be up here vs down south :P
