Sea Lions, Champion Island.  We were dropped by the panga (dingy) and drifted along a wall.  The sea lions followed the panga as soon as they saw us, and we had sea lions everywhere.  A raft of 30 to 40 sea lions played with a rope hanging from the back of the panga, while others swam over and around us.  When the water is cold, the sea lions in a raft lie on their backs and stick their flippers up in the air to warm them.
