Guadalupe Island - Trip Planning

Great White Shark Diving at Guadalupe Islands

Everything you need to know:

Maximum of 16 divers per trip - perfect for dive clubs, corporate groups, film crews and photographers.

Isla Guadalupe is the World's Best Destination to dive with Great White Sharks. It hosts one of the most prolific populations of White Sharks on the planet. What makes Isla Guadalupe the greatest White Shark diving destination is not only the abundance of White Sharks, but the water you will find them in! The temperature averages 67° to 72° degrees F. It is simply Shark Diver Heaven!

The island lies some 160 miles off the coast off Baja California and over 220 miles southwest of San Diego in open ocean water that has over 100 feet of visibility.

Deposit:

A deposit of 50% of the selected trip cost is required to reserve your spot on any of these expeditions.

Does Not Include:

Souvenirs, gratuities for the crew. Though we have a very successful expedition record, we cannot guarantee a Great White Shark encounter on every trip. We believe it would be irresponsible to claim some sort of control over Mother Nature. Reality is that Great White Sharks are wild animals that have their own schedules and priorities. They live in an extraordinary environment that at times, also does not cooperate according to our schedules. Weather is always an important factor when operating offshore. We do however, promise to take you to the best place at the best time and provide you the best opportunity to encounter a Great White Shark.

Cancellations:

Weather cancellations can and do occur. We do not provide a refund due to weather cancellation. Our policy is to reschedule your trip during the current season or the following year. This is an industry-wide standard.
