Update from Guadalupe Island
We just completed our 4th expedition to Guadalupe this year and the sharks have been amazing. Unlike in previous years, we are seeing more juvenile females than males this season. There have been over 10 new sharks already and every trip we encounter more new “friends”. On each expedition, we encountered over 18 different sharks, swimming along with seals, turtles and dolphins.

As for the regulars, they have been slow to show their faces. So far we have seen “Joker” and “Chugey”, who looks amazing by the way. His injuries from a few years ago show fewer and fewer remaining scars.

As a reminder, here is what he looked like 2 years ago.

Tonight we are heading back to Guadalupe where I hope we’ll encounter more of our old friends. This is my 16th season diving with these sharks and I’m more excited to head down there than I was on my first expedition.
If you would like to join us on a future expedition or just want some information, contact us at 619.887.4275 or email staff@sharkdiver.com
I hope to get to introduce you to the amazing great white sharks at Guadalupe Island soon!
Let’s go shark diving!
Cheers,
