Additional Notes

Caradonna Dive Adventures promote initiatives that give back to the marine habitats we visit each year. The Guadalupe Island Conservation Fund was founded by a group of marine researchers, eco-tour operators and vessel owner operators with an eye towards protecting the great white sharks at this unique site and providing funds for critical ongoing research projects at the island. Join us in helping the Mexican government fund and protect this unique bio-sphere and its rare and special white shark population. Caradonna Dive Adventures - Dive Travel and Vacations - Explore New Wonders in Another World. For the active dive traveler seeking above-the-ordinary experiences in the world's top destinations that are far beyond the every day! Neither words nor photos can convey the sensation that occurs when you catch your first glimpse of a great white shark. When you see a fin slice through the glassy surface in the early morning light, the reason these animals are considered Earth’s apex predator becomes very apparent—once in the cage, the confirmation is complete. With the first slow, deliberate swim-by and direct eye contact that is unquestionably intimidating, the experience is riveting. Some vessels offer submersible cages which drop down to 40’. Surface-level cages allow divers to easily enter and exit, ranging in capacity from 3-5 divers per cage. For photographers, getting great shots couldn’t be easier with amazing visibility, impressive subjects, generous open ports for cameras and boats equipped with large camera tables and charging stations. Guadalupe Island is now a "Biosphere Reserve" and lies 150 miles offshore of the Pacific coast of Mexico. This 22 mile long island is environmentally isolated and is surrounded by deep water and bathed by oceanic currents. The north end of the island reaches an altitude of 4200', high enough to trap clouds on most days and produce dramatic vistas.
