Sharks show off for the cameras
Read MoreGreat, Great, Great Whites!!! What an awesome trip we had, lots of sharks all 3 days of diving. We had lots of males swimming around the submersible cages and getting curious with the divers inside. Surface cages were awesome! Guests getting amazing shots with the wrangling. The sharks smiled and showed off their teeth for the cameras, and not to forget coming out of the water to show off their hunting skills. By the end of the trip, we counted at least 12 male sharks. Can’t wait for the next trip!! – DM Sergio Gonzalez, Costa Rica Photo by Luis…
KUDOS to the Mexican authorities for tracking and arresting great white shark poachers..
Read MoreThe white shark population at Guadalupe Island appears to be stable. We see the same sharks year after year (touch wood). There is good surveillance and enforcement by the Mexican authorities. Unfortunately the same is not always true for other parts of Baja California and we have seen disturbing photos of butchered white sharks in the Sea of Cortes and other areas. Hearty deeply felt well-done to the Mexican authorities for tracking and intercepting 2 containers of poached sharks being shipped out to Korea. article below. Safe diving. – Captain Mike This note was published today in…

Read MorePreview of the article featured in Undersea Journal this coming April!
I was in a hammerhead school competing with some galapagos and turned to see some silkies and then a manta was almost bumping me!
Read MoreFirst i said it was in my top ten dives of my life, but after consideration it was top three, i was in a hammerhead school competing with some galapagos and turned to see some silkies and then a manta was almost bumping me! On the way back from Socorro Island we saw a baby whale jumping out of the water, breaching, and then I wanted to snorkel with the calf and his mother and I make some very good pictures of them. So top three in the life. Rob (Germany) Roca is in my top ten in the world of…
Fantastic because if i will tell anybody at home that we did three or four dives a day and every time we were in the water we see giant mantas, dolphins, whale shark , two or three times during the dive, and when we go out of the water we see Carmen with a smile, no one will believe it. And when you are getting your gear off you look out in the blue, and you see the whale shark in the surface. Mantas in the surface and dolphins. And at night we get a great dinner and we go to bed with a great smile. -Pedro from Austria
Read MoreMy first dive at Cabo Pierce on Socorro Island. Almost immediately there was a huge manta, gracefully soaring overhead which stayed with us and then suddenly my divemaster pointed at a shark a hammerhead, so near. I’ve never seen one in the water before. And then a whale shark came into view, beautiful, moving slowly towards us and then circled around and came nearer. I’m so privileged to be there next to this serene beautiful huge fish. The next dive at Cabo Pierce we dropped down into the water to be met by huge mantas, how many I don t…

3 days of filming Imax movie great white sharks in 3D
Read MoreThis is my first time out to Guadalupe and it was an unforgettable experience, the weather was perfect and the sharks showed up in big numbers and big bodies. We have achieved all of our objectives on this Imax film, and Mother Nature, as well as our film crew along with the Nautilus Explorer crew, made it all possible. The boat was great, the crew was exceptional and the divemasters were the best. Thanks to all. Oh yeah, the food was excellent too, special thanks to Carmen who waited on us at all times. I only have one question, where does…
On our first dive, I counted at least 5 individual great white sharks circling us.. they got bolder as the afternoon passed.. Guadalupe. September 29, 2012.
Read MoreAfter a very pleasant 185 nautical mile (approx 330km) crossing from Ensenada, Mexico we arrived late last night to the shark lovers paradise island of Guadalupe. Shortly after arrival we had our cages in the calm waters of the sheltered north-east bay and were ready for action at first light this morning. On our first submersible cage dive of the day at 0800 I counted at least 5 individual white sharks circling the two submersible cages. Early on they were keeping their distance, occasionally making a close pass by the cage to check out the humanoids trapped inside. As the…
