KOMMEN SIE DEN WEISSEN HAIEN NÄHER

Käfigtauchen mit Weißen Haien vom Feinsten. Guadalupe ist der Ort für echte Abenteurer. Es gibt nur wenige andere Orte auf der Welt, an denen man diesen Tieren so nahe kommen kann. Würden Sie es wagen, hier eine Tauchsafari zu unternehmen?

Guadalupe Island or Isla Guadalupe is a volcanic island located 241 kilometers (150 mi) off the west coast of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula and about 400 kilometers (249 mi) southwest of the city of Ensenada in the state of Baja California, in the Pacific Ocean. This island is very remote and there is not much to see above the surface. But from August to October the real adventure happens – underwater. In this time it is possible to dive with great white sharks in Guadalupe Island. Most of the diving is done in a cage. Only in three other places in the world, you can join this special adventure.

BESTE REISEZEIT FÜR DIE INSEL GUADALUPE

Liveaboards visit Guadalupe only between July and October because in this time the water temperature is the coldest and that attracts the great white sharks. The average water temperature is between 19°C and 22°C.

ÜBER DAS KÄFIGTAUCH

– Most liveaboard operators do cage diving in Guadalupe Island. Only a few allow diving without cages for specially trained divers.

– Cage diving is possible for certified scuba divers and non-divers. Divers can jump into the bottom of the cage in around 10 meters in scuba equipment and non-divers stay in the shallower part with a hookah system that provides air from the surface. 

– Sometimes the operators are using open-top cages, which means there is an upper level with only a handrail between the diver and the shark. During the dives, the sharks will not be feed, as this is forbidden.

TAUCHTAUFBOOTE IN GUADALUPE

Wie bereits erwähnt, finden die Tauchreisen zur Insel Guadalupe nur zwischen Juli und Oktober statt. Normalerweise dauern sie 4 bis 6 Tage. Einige Tauchanbieter kombinieren eine Reise nach Guadalupe mit einer Reise zur Insel Socorro. In diesem Fall können Sie eine längere Tauchreise zwischen 10 und 14 Tagen genießen.
