Guadalupe Island

Departing from Ensenada, Mexico, this is our newest dive adventure in the Baja California area. In 2005, we teamed up with Great White Adventures in order to provide our guests the opportunity to view the apex predator of the sea – the great white shark.

Located in the Pacific Ocean approximately 180 miles west of Ensenada, Mexico, Guadalupe Island is rapidly becoming the world’s best location for diving with great white sharks. The visibility is often more than 100’ and the water temperature averages between 65F-70F. This is cage diving at its most exciting and, because you will be using surface supplied air (hookah) instead of scuba tanks, you do not need to be a certified scuba diver in order to participate in these trips. These 5 day trips are shorter than our other diving excursions so they are perfect for a great mini-vacation.

Solmar V, in conjunction with Great White Adventures, also offers submersible cage diving on our Guadalupe Island expeditions.

The submersible cage allows us to descend a little further into the world of the great white shark. Although the submersible cage is only 20' below the surface of the water, it provides a completely different perspective to your great white shark diving experience. These spectacular dives are available to certified scuba divers only. A Great White Adventures safety diver escorts one diver at a time on these 20 minute dives. We rotate all certified divers who wish to experience the submersible cage as many times as conditions will allow. The view offered by the submersible cage is a photographers dream come true. You are actually surrounded on all sides by the apex predator of the sea. We have had an exceptional response from our guests about how phenomenal this experience is. Both professional and amateur photographers rave about the different angles available to capture the mighty great white sharks of Guadalupe Island.
