Great White Shark - Nautilus Explorer
August 28-September 2, 2011
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!
We are divers. We believe that the best way to observe great white sharks is to descend into their world and interact with them on their own terms in a natural way from our double-decker submersible cages. Conditions permitting, you can get out from behind the bars on the upper deck of 2 of these cages with only a single hand-rail between you and these incredible apex predators. The highly experienced divemasters in the submersible cages are always there to both "critter point" and ensure your safety. Guests on the Nautilus Explorer have 4 cages at varying depths to choose from providing the best way to see lots of "whiteys" up close and
very personal.
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.
