A Few Fun Sea Lion Clips From Los Islotes

I dipped down to La Paz, Mexico at the end of November to dive mostly at tiny island called Los Islotes. Los Islotes hosts one of the most famous Sea Lion colonies in Mexico.

I’m still working on one complete edit of diving with the sea lions. Below are clips that I have extracted and posted to Instagram. We were diving with the team from The Cortez Club. They put together a nice pack together for us that included airport pick up from Cabo, hotel in the heart of La Paz, diving and lunch.

I’ll provide more details when I post my full recap. However, I highly recommend scuba diving with Sea Lions! It’s such a great experience.

FROM THE DEPTHS

This is a spotted cleaner shrimp (Periclimenes yucatanicus) — a tiny Caribbean crustacean that often lives close to the protection of sea anemones. One of two seahorse species found in the coastal waters of St. Vincent, the longsnout seahorse (Hippocampus reidi) is often seen holding onto reef growth, seagrass, sponges, and other underwater structures.
