White
Shark Diving For Everyone!
Now everyone can get "up close and personal"
with the ocean's ultimate predator-The Great White Shark. San Diego
Shark Diving Expeditions is offering anyone over the age of 12 a
chance to view these huge predators from the safety of our custom
designed shark cages. We will have an instructor teach you how to
safely breathe from our hookah regulators so that you can now join
us on our very successful Great White Shark expeditions to Isla
Guadalupe. This is a great opportunity for families, friends, and
non-scuba certified individuals to participate on these exciting
trips. A minimum of restrictions will apply, please call for details.
Join us on this very special West Coast White Shark
Expedition aboard the Andrea Lynn. This is a limited load trip,
we are only taking 20 lucky divers on a boat

live aboard dive vessel on the West Coast. It has 3 decks. A sundeck

I was on an exploratory trip in
Oct. 2000 and saw an honest 18 footer. The
animal was huge. It must have been 6 ft. across the widest part.
There will be two 24 ft pangas 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.
We will begin chumming as soon as we get to
the island.
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 to high 60s and visibility is often 80-100 ft.
The transit form Ensenada to Isla de Guadalpe will take about 19
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.
Divers will board the large coach in San Diego at
7:30 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 4:30 PM on the last day
at the island to dive before our return to Ensenada. The boat should
arrive around 2:00 noon on the last trip day. The 5-day itinerary
will give us 3 full days at the island and the 8-day trip gives
us 6 full divig days at Guadalupe. At 2:30 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
retrn flight the next day.
