So far there are about 270 sharks in the identification book with around 30 new ones added each year as they are spotted and photographed.

They came so fast from the deep to break the surface and in less than a second, the whole shark’s body was completely out of the water!!

I am simply without words at how amazing the overall experience has been, seeing more great whites than I could have ever imagined.

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.

An even larger female came and hung around after “Lucy” left. Everyone was amazed by her sheer size and confidence cruising slowly and attempting to get the bait and keeping the wranglers on their toes.

I saw today the biggest great white shark I have seen here at Guadalupe Island on board the Nautilus Explorer: “Dotty!” We estimated her to be at least 5 meters (16-17ft) in length.
