About Isla de Guadalupe

Isla Guadalupe is a volcanic island off Baja California’s west coast and an internationally known shark-cage-diving destination. The appeal is the chance to observe great white sharks in a controlled offshore setting, with early fall described as especially productive for sightings. It is best treated as a specialized big-animal encounter rather than a general recreational dive.
