Shark Diving, Guadalupe Island

If you planning to try Great White Shark diving, Guadalupe could be the destination.

You can go from Mexico – or you can do a multi-day live-aboard tour from San Diego in USA.

The Guadalupe Island (also called Isla Guadalupe in Spanish) is located 241 kilometers (150 miles) off the west coast of Mexico's Baja California peninsula.

The island is considered one of the best spots in the world for scuba diving with the Great White Shark – probably because of a large population of pinnipeds.

The season for Guadalupe shark diving is generally the summer and fall months, where the largest population of Great White Sharks is seen.

Great White Shark Cage Diving, Guadalupe Island

Normally you will be scuba diving (or swimming) in a cage. Often it will be a surface cage, so you do not have to be a certified scuba diver. No matter if it is a surface cage or a normal diving cage, the Great White Sharks will be extremely close. So be ready for a heart pumping thrill.

A Guadalupe shark dive can be more than the Great White Shark. Tiger Sharks, Hammerhead Sharks, Bull Sharks, Galapagos Sharks, Caribbean Reef Sharks, Nurse Sharks and even Whale Sharks can also be seen on a shark dive.
