Great White Shark Cage Diving in Cancun?

Great White Shark Cage Diving in Cancun?

While some of the dive shops in Cancun say they cage dive with great white sharks out of Playa del Carmen, it is only Guadalupe Island that offers great white shark cage diving in clear blue water with 100 150 foot visibility. In 2000 America’s Shark Boat first discovered great white sharks at this location on the first expedition to cage dive with great white sharks ever at this location. It’s been white shark heaven ever since!
Great White Sharks at Isla Guadalupe

Isla Guadalupe is a volcanic island 210 miles off the west coast of the USA. The island, after 21 years of cage diving operations here, has become THE place in the world to cage dive with great white sharks. The viewing season begins in July/August when young male white sharks begin to arrive and the water temperature is around 75 degrees. Smaller female great white sharks follow towards the end of August. The larger, more dominant, female sharks can be seen towards the end of the season in October/November during a period we call The Time of the Titans.
