We had breaches left and right, one after another. It almost seemed as though the sharks were showing off and reminding us that they can get the bait anytime they want.

Today was our first day at Guadalupe Island for this trip. We saw over ten individual great white sharks, and even some dolphins and a sea lion! This morning was nice and steady, with several sharks in the area, but after lunch, they must have decided to step it up! We had breach after breach and some very large sharks in the area. “Persephone,” a large female (4.5m/14ft) with lots of gruesome battle scars stayed with us all day and dominated the surface action. It was a great start to the trip.
