With sea lions is an unbelievable, safe and funny experience! They are sea mammals and you can find them in “sea lions colonies” ( natural places where many of them stay all together during the certain time) usually small islands near the coasts or pieces of the coasts over the sea called “restingas”. The basic equipment consists of a wetsuit, snorkel, swim fins, and diving mask which is enough to swim in those places and share the sea lions curiosity…it seems like they dance around you!! Is common to see them doing “acrobatics”. They are really friendly while they are swimming” Dive with sea lions is the main attraction. Puerto Piramides and its surrounding waters are considered a temple for diving in Argentina.
