Great White Shark - Nautilus Explorer
August 20-30, 2010
Reliable interaction with white sharks at calm and sheltered dive sites,
magnificent visibility in exceptionally blue water combined with easy access
via San Diego make this the best place in the world to go “face-to-face” with
great white sharks... There is likely no better place in the world to see
great white sharks than Guadalupe Island, M
exico.
The frequency of shark sightings is excellent and quite reliable and these
big guys will come right by the 4 shark cages to check you out. Cage time
is virtually unlimited. Diving with the white sharks from the water level
back deck of the Nautilus Explorer is easy and comfortable and you won’t
find a more luxurious ship to do it from. Bring your camera!
There are shoreline expeditions daily while on site so you can check out the
local populations of elephant seals, Guadalupe fur seals, and California Sealions.
Half of the trip you will have the chance to dive in the Benitos Islands.
The Benitos Islands are seldom visited and a number of fish species are found
there. You
will see tons of sea lions, elephant seals, fur seals, long kelp
walls, nudibranchs, lobster, octopus and lots of different species of fish.
The ship’s submersible cages provide an excellent platform to descend
down into the sharks’ natural habitat. There seems to be layers of sharks
as you go deeper and deeper and nothing can beat a submersible cage for the
best diving. The white sharks will start swimming by the surface cages sometime
after dawn. Morning and mid afternoon seem to have the most activity. While
the conditions are superb, these trips are adventuresome voyages to
a remote volcanic oceanic offshore island and you always have to be prepared
for the unexpected.
