ACÉRATE A LOS GRANDES TIBURONES BLANCOS

Buceo en jaula con grandes tiburones blancos en su máxima expresión. Guadalupe es el lugar para verdaderos buscadores de aventuras. Sólo hay unos pocos lugares en el mundo donde puedes acercarte tanto a estos animales. ¿Te atreverías a hacer un viaje de vida a bordo aquí?

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.

MEJOR ÉPOCA PARA VISITAR LA ISLA 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.

ACERCA DEL BUCEO EN JAULA

– 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.

VIDA A BORDO EN GUADALUPE

Como se mencionó, los viajes de buceo a la Isla Guadalupe se realizan únicamente entre julio y octubre. Por lo general, duran de 4 a 6 días. Algunos operadores de buceo combinan un viaje a Guadalupe con la Isla Socorro. En ese caso, podrás disfrutar de un viaje de buceo más largo, de entre 10 y 14 días.
