Great White Shark Diving
October 10-15, 2023
You’ve thought about what it would be like to actually see and photograph the Carcharodon carcharias, aka the Great White Shark, an Apex Predator. Join us for some first-hand experience with this hair raising, long remembered adventure. You’ll be using surface supplied air at Isla Guadalupe leaving more room in the cage by not wearing tanks. Hookah regulators and weights are provided. The only equipment you need to take is mask and wetsuit or drysuit.

The destination
Isla Guadalupe is a wild and spectacularly beautiful place. The island is located 200 miles southwest of San Diego and offers a scenic and forbidding collection of ancient volcanic cinder cones, ridges and dramatic offshore rocks. It’s truly a geologist’s dream. Isla Guadalupe hosts a large population of Elephant Seals, as well as California and Stellar Sea Lions. The remote location provides a secret sanctuary for these animals which has prevented them from being hunted to extinction, yet they are still a prime food source for the sharks.
The diving
Shark diving provides an easy way to observe the extraordinary world and habits of the infamous Great White Shark. The shark cages create a discernable barrier. The sharks quickly recognize them, thereby permitting you to safely observe and experience these incredible animals up close and personal. Water temperature is typically in the high 60s to low 70s at this time of year. Of course, numerous cameras with wide-angle lens are anticipated and expected. (Hint: Get an underwater camera with a wide-angle lens and learn how to use it now!)
The boat
The 115-foot M/V Undersea features a 120-volt power supply, ample fresh water, two hot water showers, an on-deck hot-water shower for between dives and a dryer to have warm, dry towels between dives. Eight private, air-conditioned staterooms have individual thermostats and wash basins. Dining choices range from traditional meals to freshly caught fish. All beverages, including beer and wine are included. The galley/salon area features a TV, VCR, DVD and internet access, and is an excellent place to wind down after a day of incredible shark diving.
