Alan Davey posted some awesome pictures from his trip to Guadalupe Island with us last year. The pictures were taken in August, the best time to see multiple sharks.Alan Davey photographyFor his complete trip report, more pictures and some great advice…
With “Shark Week” coming up, a lot of you are probably dreaming about what it would be like to be part of the show. How would it feel to come face to face with a great white shark? How awesome would it be to show your friends a movie of you experiencing a “real shark week“?
Well, you can make that dream a reality. We have 2 special film expeditions to Guadalupe coming up on September 4-9 and 9-14-2014. Peter Kragh, Emmy Award winner 2013 for Outstanding Cinematography on Nat Geo’s “Untamed Americas”, who was also part of many “shark week” specials, is leading those expeditions. He will film you with those great white sharks and show you the tricks of the trade. Just imagine how awesome it will be to experience these amazing creatures in the water, and have a movie to show to your friends. It will be an experience of a lifetime with memories you’ll never forget. The next time you’ll talk about “shark week”, you’ll be telling your friends about the time this shark swam by and looked you straight into the eyes.

Black December /Gurney/Discovery Peter will be sharing his professional knowledge and help you create your very own “shark week special”. Learn some tricks of the trade and get tips on how to shoot and edit your movie.
This is an amateur video from last season. Just imagine how much better your video will be, with Peter’s professional help.
September is the best time to see the greatest numbers of sharks at Guadalupe Island. You’ll see some of the big boys like “Bruce”, “Jacques”, “Bite Face” or “Chugey” along with many others. They love to come close to the cages and look you straight into the eyes. I’ll never forget the first time a great white shark (Shredder) did that to me. It got me hooked on shark diving and after 14 years, I’m more excited than ever to go back and see who’s going to be there.
The price for this experience of a lifetime is $3300 and is all inclusive. On top of Peter’s professional help and advise, you’ll be pampered with sumptuous meals from chef Mark and the crew will do everything they can to spoil you on your 5 day expedition to Guadalupe Island. We even include a free GoPro rental and of course your own trip movie. The only “extras” we have are the tip for the crew and any shark diver gear you may wish to purchase.

Let’s go have a “real shark week”!

This is for all of you who are thinking that it is a good idea to go outside of a cage and dive with Great White Sharks and say that they treat you as one of their own. Check out this video shark diving, great white shark diving, swimming with great wh…
We have seen an unusual number of sharks with fresh bite marks at Guadalupe Island this season. It seems like most sharks, over about 12 ft long have some kind of new bite marks on their bodies. Chugey has another nice bite to his head, a new shark’s f…
On our recent expedition to Guadalupe Island, we had a couple of talented amateur photographers on board. Kyle and Tiffany Chapman. They documented their “real shark week” with these pictures, all taken with a Gopro!As you can see, the sharks have been…
We just finished our second trip and the action continued, where it left off on the last trip. A lot of familiar faces are back at Guadalupe. Our boys, Don Julian, Horizon, Kenric, Geoff Nuttall Mike, Drogin Thor and Micks are all back and Lamini, a little female from last season was also around. We counted a total of 15 named sharks, along with 4 new ones and a few we haven’t identified yet.
There seems to be a lot of fighting going on at Guadalupe right now. Many sharks are sporting brand new bite marks. I saw Horizon take a big chunk out of a bigger sharks head, which is very unusual, since the hierarchy is usually established based on size. (we haven’t identified the bigger shark yet) Chuggy, who we talked about last season, having recovered from a nasty bite to his head, came by with some very fresh bite marks on his face. The big gash from 2 seasons ago, is now just visible as a black scar.
With all that fighting going on, I hope that those idiots who dive outside the cages, thinking the sharks are accepting them as one of their own, are wrong. I have seen, what those sharks do to smaller sharks and those guys would indeed be very, very small sharks.
Oh, did I mention that the sharks got close?
We are just about to board another group of divers. I will update you on our season, when we get back in 5 days.
Cheers,
