It's been about month since the silly sea lions took over our favorite training spot in Monterey Bay, California, evicting us SCUBA divers from the premises.
There is no telling as to when they will continue their journey to other destinations along the Pacific shores.
One marine scientist stated that sea lions move South in the Spring and Summer, seeking warmer waters to mate and give birth to their pups.
When Fall and Winter arrive, most of them would move North seeking colder, fish-rich waters to feed of.

Many people believe that the Breakwater Cove, Monterey, is the ocean site that generates the largest number of Open Water Diver certifications in the USA.
In the mean time and until the rascals are gone, we are diving other dive sites such as McAbee beach, Del Monte Beach, Lovers Point, Butterfly House, and much more!
Oh and, we will be going to Catalina Island in November too!
