Ryan’s Sharky Morning Cage Diving

The grey shape of a Great White, a male about 12’ in length, emerged under the bait line. It grew deceptively quickly in size and definition until the length of the shark breached the surface, jaws convulsing after the elusive bait, and then with a splash was gone again to the water.

Guadalupe Island season is truly a magical time. The ship is vibrant and guests are grinning ear to ear. I have been diving 38 years and today was one of my best ever!

    When you couple together the Big female and curious male White Sharks along with four cages loaded with guests from sunrise to sundown, the Ship is vibrant.  There is nothing better than to greet a guest as they surface from the cage. Its all about the smiles grinning from ear to ear and […]

And very few mackerel around the boat.   I still think something […]

I have been doing dive charters for 38 years and this is by far the best crew I have sailed with!

We had a great time and a great group; I just can’t believe how the cages were full with divers, that’s to tell you all how great the action was . First day we had Lucy for the day plus two males just hanging around for the day. The second  day we had a lot […]

We could not have had a smoother crossing to Guadalupe Island. It was like being in a bathtub except that we were on the giant Nautilus Explorer.

Here I am on another trip to Guadalupe with great weather. So far we had an awesome crossing and it can’t get better than arriving at about 7:00 pm at our anchorage spot. We could have seen the island for about 3:30 on the horizon and we had all the guest with their cameras taking […]
