This particular female great white shark stayed with us the entire day circling and then going up to the surface to inspect seaweed that apparently look like food. November 2011 – Isla Guadalupe, Baja California, Mexico

We are nearing the end of our Guadalupe White Shark season with only a couple trips remaining for 2011. This late in the season it can often be hit or miss as far as wind and wave forecasts for this area, however it seems that for this trip the weather Gods are on our side. […]

I never thought diving the great white sharks could be this good! I wanted to jump out of the cage with an dive knife gripped in my teeth to try and help him out. October, 2011 – Isla Guadalupe, Baja California, Mexico

A common sight while we‚re down in the cages is sharks with evidence of their interactions with humans. The most common form is hooks and lines; the remainders of fishing rigs that have “caught” our beautiful friends. For most of my dives today, the whites seem to have gone into hiding, except for one scarred […]

Always better than the last! From big to bigger great white sharks, calm and graceful to skittish and a tad unhinged!! These […]

Dive four is when things begin to get fun. A mixed bag of visitors begins to show up, including […]

it felt like we were living in a Jurassic Park on the Nautilus Explorer. Nov.7, 2011- ISLAS SAN BENITO, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO

It didn’t suck! MM@NYC As we leave for Isla de Guadalupe, these are my reflections on the first half of the trip: the islands of San Benitos rise from sea as barren mountains, white in places from accruing guano, haven for sealions as they sun themselves and rest from play in the ocean. On board […]
