Description

Guadalupe Island lies 220 miles southwest of San Diego and because of its remote location, extreme topography and proliferation of Great White Sharks it has become what many consider to be the best place on the planet to see a white shark in its natural habitat. With water temperatures in the high sixties, regular visibility exceeding 80 feet and flat calm water much of the time, Guadalupe has become a haven for professional and amateur photographers alike. Likewise, divers of all ages and skill levels will marvel at the user-friendly nature of this site.

SD6 Travel Adventures is facilitating this custom charter trip through Islander Charters.
