CHEGUE PERTO DOS GRANDES TUBARÕES BRANCOS

Mergulho em gaiola com grandes tubarões brancos no seu melhor. Guadalupe é o lugar para verdadeiros aventureiros. Existem apenas alguns outros lugares no mundo onde você pode chegar tão perto desses animais. Você teria coragem de fazer uma viagem de liveaboard aqui?

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.

MELHOR ÉPOCA PARA VISITAR A ILHA DE 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.

SOBRE O MERGULHO EM GAIOLA

– 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.

LIVEABOARDS EM GUADALUPE

Como mencionado, as saídas de mergulho para a Ilha de Guadalupe acontecem apenas entre julho e outubro. Normalmente, eles duram de 4 a 6 dias. Algumas operadoras de mergulho combinam uma viagem a Guadalupe com a Ilha Socorro. Nesse caso, você pode desfrutar de uma viagem de mergulho mais longa, entre 10 e 14 dias.
