Great White trip Guadalupe - 25 November - 1 December
With international Award winning photographers.

GUADALUPE
The remote island of Guadalupe, 210 miles south-southwest of San Diego and is 150 miles off the Pacific coast of Baja California, is a brand new shark-diving destination. I plan to go there with a party of divers to take photographs of the Great White sharks.
This is a trip for the adventurer who wants close encounters
with White sharks. We will charter the Horizon and fill all the places ourselves to get the best possible deal wit Doc Anes.Last year Alan James chartered this vessel and had a fantastic time withshark sightings even before they started to chum the water.
The first cage-diving trips took place here in autumn 2001 and the first great white was actually seen on the day of arrival when a 4m/13ft individual made several passes within 10 minutes of dropping the cages.
Guadalupe is now widely considered to be the best place in the world for observing and photographing great whites underwater.
On past trips, there has been as many as seven different animals around the cages at one time - and too many really close encounters to count! They range in size from about 10ft to 16ft (a whopping 18-footer was seen on the first exploratory trip in 2000).
