Visitors cannot help but be enchanted by the sea lions of Los
Islotes. They emanate finesse and charm without a hint of illusion
or wizardry. There is no incantation or voodoo, just an abounding
sense of play that inspires every visitor. When it comes to wild
animal encounters, Los Islotes is almost nirvana. Few places so
close to a city can truly offer such a convenient and accessible
opportunity to interact with Mother Nature in her untamed state.
California sea lions are the main residents, strangely thriving in
a place so accessible to tourists. Initial introductions begin at
the surface; encounters are then formalized below the water as
Poseidon's ocean ambassadors exuberantly whiz towards and around
diver and snorkeler alike. With vivid underwater photography
throughout by a uniquely positioned author, The Sea Lions of Los
Islotes takes readers straight into the world of these most
charismatic marine mammals.
