Visit the world’s most exciting great white shark dive site by liveaboard and enjoy cage diving expeditions in the crystal clear waters of the Pacific.

The unique volcanic island of Guadalupe and its dive sites normally have 30 metres visibility, often multiple sharks per dive and pristine conditions; it is nothing short of great white shark heaven!

Your adventure begins in San Diego, where you will be met late afternoon and transferred to Ensenada to board your liveaboard. Each day, cages will be deployed from the boat, and divers can enjoy some incredible great white shark encounters in clear waters, while any non-divers can view the sharks from a surface cage. 

Typical Itinerary

  1. Day 1: Fly to San Diego

    On arrival, make way to your overnight accommodation by shuttle bus from the airport. 
  2. Days 2-3 : Morning at leisure; afternoon transfer to liveaboard

    Spend your day at leisure. In the evening you will transfer by coach to the port and board your liveaboard. Overnight sail to Isla Guadalupe (22 hours).

  3. Days 4-7 : Great white shark encounters at Isla Guadalupe

    Each day starts with an early morning, in anticipation of great white shark encounters. The boat may move depending on where the sharks are. Shark cages are deployed each morning and the fun begins with virtually unlimited cage times.

    Guests can observe the sharks from a surface cage from 06.30 - 18.00 whilst the submersible cages operate from 08.00 - 16.00 in half hour slots with surface supplied air.

    Photographers will be focused on getting the best shots of these magnificent creatures and with a 360 degree panoramic platform and gin clear water, there's plenty of opportunity for that signature shot.

    At the end of the third dive day, the boat sets sail early evening, arriving back the next afternoon.

    Transfer back to San Diego for an overnight stay (depending on flight schedule).

  4. Day 8: Depart San Diego
