Playful sea lion pups in the Sea of Cortez!

“Floating slowly along with the current, looking for tiny creatures in the coral, suddenly a large body zooms past the side of your mask: it is one of several playful sea lion pups coming to investigate the other large mammals blowing bubbles near their rookery.
