I have heard that sea lions are extremely aggressive and dangerous.
What kind? Even those really big stellar sea lions, that in pictures look like underwater bears to me, are something some people dive with. The only sea lions I dove with were California sea lions (also saw harbor seals), and neither was aggressive. I've read bull California sea lions can be bad news if they think you're moving in on their harems.
I'm not saying you can't get bit or that none are dangerous; just trying to find out what might be putting you off the idea.
