Guadalupe Island Great White Shark Diving Trip, 11/13/09

We were greeted by wind and lots of it upon our arrival at Guadalupe Island.  We made a pass through the North Bay to assess conditions but decided to move on.  With gusts up to 35 knots we erred on the side of caution and made our way south to an alternate dive site.  While [...]

Guadalupe Island Great White Shark Diving, October 2

We were truly blessed on this trip in terms of weather and this fact was truly illuminated by our travels home.  From the tip of Guadalupe Island to the tip of Point Loma we had absolutely flat calm weather.  The crossing home can be a bit bumpy at times but that was not the case for this [...]

Guadalupe Island Great White Shark Diving, September 30

Our second day at Guadalupe Island began with the faintest hint of a breeze that increased to some degree throughout the day.  It never got bad enough to affect our  cage dive rotations but the swell generated by the wind offshore was present.  Regardless, we saw Great White Sharks from the first dive to the last again.  [...]

9/19/09 Guadalupe Island Shark Diving

We arrived at Guadalupe Island early this morning and we were pleasantly surprised to find we had our White Shark diving site all to ourselves. We put the anchor down and went to work deploying our shark cages.  Our shark divers struck out on the first dive rotation but had good action on the second [...]

You couldn’t ask for nicer weather than what we experienced en route to Ensenada.  It was basically flat calm for the entire ride which made for the perfect ending to an excellent trip.  We’d like to issue a heartfelt thanks to all our divers from all parts of the world who joined us on this [...]

9/29/08 Guadalupe Great White Shark Diving

Day two started much like day one with the exception of a 14 foot white shark eating a deceased elephant seal right behind the boat.  In a most surreal fashion the shark engulfed the carcass and proceeded to rip it to shreds.  After several more passes very little was left.  In the Great White Shark [...]

9/28/08 Guadalupe Great White Shark Diving

We arrived in the North Bay shortly after 7am and were tight on our anchor shortly after that.  We were pleased to find no wind and very little swell in the bay which wasn’t surprising following a relatively calm night in transit.  After a quick dive briefing we deployed the cages and prepared to put [...]

9/27/08 Guadalupe Great White Shark Diving

We departed from Ensenada today on our third Guadalupe Great White Shark trip this season.  We encountered some mild fog as we made our way across Todos Santos Bay but were greeted by fair seas once we made it to open water.  As today was a travel day our eager group caught up on rest, [...]

9/25/08 Guadalupe Great White Shark Diving

We had Great White Sharks galore again today. They continued to put on an incredible show for our divers. The non-stop White Shark action combined with fantastic weather has made for an ideal trip. We’ll be travelling back to Ensenada this evening and will arrive tomorrow around 2pm. Big thanks to all for making [...]
