In reply to Lauren. I wasn't even in a dry suit... I was in a 7mm wetsuit! Horrors! It was cold but actually I think I was SO excited by the sea lions I was kind of distracted from the cold. The one dive that I will never forget the cold of was my dive in Iceland, when I was indeed in a dry suit. But they can't cover your face!

Alex, Next time you visit Southern California and want an amazing Sea Lion adventure check in to a charter out of Ventura. My husband and I took the Spectre out to Anacapa Sea Lion Rookery and literally swam with hundreds of Sea Lions. They actually followed us back to the boat on the surface. Very Cool!! thanks for the info on Coronado… Hope to get there soon.

Okay… At first I was quite excited for this post, since I’ll be doing my final open water dives for certification in San Diego next week.

Did you freeze to death or do the dry suits really work? Don’t lie to me…

In reply to Francesca. Maybe I was being too hard on myself and comparing my photos to those of my brilliant dive buddies for the day :)

What?!? Girl, I can’t believe you don’t like your photos. I was thinking how awesome they were, especially the cute little close up!

Sounds like an epic dive though, even worth diving in super cold water for…eek.

In reply to Michelle. GoPros are awesome for video but especially underwater they just can't compete with something like the Canon G7X. Still, considering their size and cost, I think they do a pretty good job! One of the divers in our group was in a drysuit... I think that would have been a whole new level of struggle :)

In reply to Kate. Hey Kate, thanks for the tip! As we had five people the private charter was only $40 more per person than Waterhorse but I'd definitely consider booking with them in the future if I didn't have a full crew. Love hearing about all these dives in Southern California... hoping to hit a few more this summer!
