The story:   British Columbia is nothing short of fantastic, making it a perfect time to visit the local sea lion colony with Hornby Island Divers. The stellar sea lions that live at this colony are energetic, curious, and have no sense of personal space. During one of our dives, a young stellar had been darting in and around me, and when another young stellar approached, the first stellar had something to say to the other - seemingly telling the newcomer that he was busy playing with the diver. The moment was quickly over, and the newcomer left to play with another diver. 

Location:  Hornby Island, British Columbia, Canada

Camera:  Sony RX-100, Ikelite Housing, Sea and Sea YS110a strobes, and UWL-04 wide angle lens.
