What would possess a normally sane person to get in the water with this voracious predator?

Researchers, adventure seekers, underwater photographers and videographers have been diving with sharks for many years, but you don't even need to be a scuba diver to observe these amazing animals underwater. All shark dives are experienced from the safety of a strong metal cage, so participants are well protected. The air is supplied using a hookah system instead of scuba tanks, making this adventure open to both divers and non-divers alike.

Guadalupe Island has quickly become the world’s best destination for observation, photography and video of great white sharks. The sharks are very curious animals and the clear water around Guadalupe is the perfect place to observe them. The visibility is often more than 100’ and the water temperature averages between 65F-70F.

The Solmar V combines adventure and luxury, offering "limited load" trips which provide a quality experience for our clients by maximizing cage time and onboard comfort. We operate two 4-man cages, using a proprietary swivel system which hooks to our swim platform, making it very easy and safe to get in and out of our cages even in rough weather.
