Vivian Island sea lion freediving

Vivian island is another island with a big sea lion population in the winter time. The photo above was submitted by @wrick, who dove here in February 2016. This is a dive you need to get to by boat. Boat charters are done by for example Pacific Pro dive.

The sea lions here reportedly are a bit calmer than their friends at Norris Rocks, so if being swarmed by sea lions is maybe not your thing you should choose this dive site first and see if you like it.

The depth here ranges from 20 – 30 feet. Visibility is often good in winter but can be poor (~20 feet).

Contact Pacific Pro Dive for details and charters.
