Guadalupe Island is among the most exciting and virgin dive adventure destinations in the world!

Located 210 miles south of San Diego and 150 miles west of the Baja peninsula, Guadalupe is remote. Fewer than 100 divers are estimated to dive this island each year! The pristine waters off of Guadalupe Island are inhabited by the Guadalupe Fur seal, California Sea lions and large pelagic fish such as yellowfin and bluefin tuna and schools of mackerel in the tens of thousands. These basic ingredients are a white shark's diet, and provide the basis for the sharks occurrance in these waters.

The underwater scenery at this island is some of the most spectacular in the Eastern Pacific! The rocky islets that make up the best dive sites are also rather extraordinary. Guadalupe is a favorite because of its unique remoteness and beauty. It really is untouched and wild! The island is surrounded by very deep water (300-3000 feet!). Consequently, the water is usually very clear, abundant with pelagic life. Water visibility is often in excess of 100 feet--so clear that the fish and sea lions seem to be suspended in air! We dive primarily on the eastern (leeward) and southern sides of the island. These areas offer the most promise of large fish and pinnepeds. The island is quite large (22 miles in length) and offers many calm anchorage's. Night diving is also a premium at Guadalupe. Free swimming moray, massive schools of Guadalupe cardinalfish, lobsters, horn sharks and various other members of the nocturnal community are out in force.

This destination requires an upper intermediate to advanced diver skill level. If you're looking for a destination that offers the possibility of big animals and excitement without all the travel time of those Red Sea, Indian Ocean or Western Pacific destinations, Guadalupe Island is for you!
