Great White Sharks - GUADALUPE ISLAND, Mexico



Trip aboard the Nautilus Explorer live aboard dive boat.


LOGISTICS
Land in SanDiego, take a shuttle bus to their designated hotel at the airport with your equipment and stash it in the locked Nautilus Storage room.  Have dinner before.  Recommend close by Mitch's for casual Fish & Chips, etc.   Gather back at the hotel for the three hour bus ride at around 6pm.

You will clear Mexican customs on the way to Ensenada.

Board the Boat in Ensenada.  Depart Ensenada around Midnight for the 20 hour or so ride to Guadalupe Island and arrive around early evening the next day.

Spend three days diving with the sharks to 40' for about 40- 45 minutes total.  Water temperature will be as cold as 64 F.

Return logistics are the same.  You will leave around 2pm? from Ensenada?   Ask if you can stop at a local store for some beers and munchies for the trip :). Clearing Customs back into the US involved dragging your equipment about a quarter of a mile.  

You can go right to SanDiego airport or stay in town.

Comfort Inn Gaslamp is INEXPENSIVE and convenient to the Gaslamp district.

We hit Candelas high end Mexican for dinner.  The LOBSTER is out of this world.
