There will be a panga for those who would like to cruise near the shore of the island and take surface photos of the Elephant Seals, Guadalupe Fur Seals, and California Sea Lions.

Guadalupe Is. is 210 mi. SSW of San Diego and 144 mi. offshore on the Pacific side of the Baja Peninsula. Water temperatures at this time of year should be in the mid 60-70s and visibility is often 80-100 ft. The transit form Ensenada to Isla de Guadalpe will take about 20 hours.

We will be using "hooka regs" (long hosed regulators connected to the boat's air bank system) so you only need to bring your wetsuit/drysuit, booties, hood, gloves, and mask. Note: those wishing to use the submersible cage must be scuba certified and will need to bring their BCD and regulator.

Divers will board the large coach in San Diego at 8:30 AM for the ride down to Enxenada, Mexico where we'll board the boat.. The boat will depart around 12:00 noon. That should get us to Guadalupe Is. around 8:30AM the next morning. We'll have until around 3 PM on the last day at the island to dive before our return to Ensenada. The 5-day itinerary will give us 3 full days at the island at Guadalupe. The boat should arrive into Ensenada around 2:00 PM on the last trip day. At 3:00 PM you'll board the bus for the return to San Diego. We should get back to San Diego around 6:00 PM. We recommend that if you are flying, to book your reutrn flight the next day.
