Thanks for the comments everyone I would be lying to say that I was cool as a cucumber down there. I don't think I will ever forget the experience of jumping in the water, and being at the surface knowing that they are right bellow and around you. That and you can hear them on their rock (and smell them, they stink!)

I found they were very similar to dogs. Granted, they are gigantic fast moving dogs. Every one had a different personality, and the same group kept on checking us out throughout the whole dive. All we did, was get to the bottom and wait for the lions to come to us (which took no time at all!).

My dive buddy had one grab her snorkel on a previous trip and rip her whole mask off. Needless to say, we didn't wear snorkels this time. Mostly they were interested in my fins, and occasionally the cameras.
