One of many „friends“ we have made at the San Cristobal island, . Sea lions live in large colonies on the coast, side by side with humans in villages and harbours where they often occupy even the public benches and sidewalks.

Crowded! When at the & Islands, a descent or surfacing might be a little bit crowded. Such schools of hammerheads, sharks or Whitetip need to be passed through, but the animals are mostly shy and hunt for smaller preys.
