Diving with Great White Sharks,
MS Andrea Lynn, Guadalupe Island, Mexico
Now everyone can get “up close and personal” with the ocean’s ultimate predator - The Great White Shark. San Diego Shark Diving Expeditions is offering anyone over the age of 12 a chance to view these huge predators from the safety of our custom designed shark cages. We will have an instructor teach you how to safely breathe from our hookah regulators so that you can now join us on our very successful Great White Shark expeditions to Isla Guadalupe. This is a great opportunity for families, friends, and non-scuba certified individuals to participate on these exciting trips. A minimum of restrictions will apply, please call for details.
Join us on this very special West Coast White Shark Expedition aboard the Andrea Lynn. This is a limited load trip, we are only taking 20 lucky divers on a boat that normally handles many more passengers. Accommodations are in double occupancy staterooms each with its own private head and shower. There is plenty of extra storage space for gear and camera equipment. The Andrea Lynn is 130 ft long and is the largest live aboard dive vessel on the West Coast. It has 3 decks. A sundeck with lounge chairs and hammocks, restaurant/salon and full bar with a dedicated bar tender to create your favorite cocktails, and the spacious main deck that even has a hot tub to ease the chill away from the day’s diving.
Guadalupe Island is 210 miles SSW of San Diego and 144 miles offshore on the Pacific side of the Baja Peninsula. Water temperatures at this time of year should be in the mid to high 60sF and visibility is often 80-100 feet. The transit form Ensenada to Isla de Guadalpe will take about 18 hours.
We will be using “hooka regs” (long hosed regulators connected to the boat’s air bank system) so you only need to bring your wetsuit/drysuit, booties, hood, gloves, and mask.
