Calm seas, current and no other boats around and just as we got started with diving, a full breach, with the Shark actually touching the boat on the way down! What a way to start out! The entire day was full of Shark action, with 6 different sharks competing for our attention.
Day 2 of Shark Diving started at 7am with an open rotation.
The lucky few that woke up early were in for a treat. "Jaques", a 16ft. regular at Guadalupe put on a show for the divers. The day continued to bring in a bunch of other Sharks, some coming right up to the cages, including one that investigated the corner of our port cage very, very closely! ..... oh, did I mention that we had another full breach just off our bow?

Since we had such great action during our 7 am rotation on the second day, we started out with everyone wanting in. The Sharks must have decided that Sunday was a good day to sleep in and there was not much going on during the first hour. Having been spoiled the first couple days with continuous great action, only a few divers decided to go in for the later rotations. The ones who did got rewarded. Big time! "Smiles", another regular, that we haven't seen in the past 2 years, showed up and put on a show for the ones in the cages, as well as everyone on deck.
Passing very close to the cages, looking the divers straight into the eyes. Everyone was excited.
The ride home started out a bit rolly, but by dinnertime it
was a lot smoother and it continued to be nice for the rest of the way home!
I love my job!

"Smiles" was the inspiration for my tattoo! I wanted a Great White tat, and I was on this site and saw his/her photograph and fell head over heels with his/her "smile". You guys are on my "bucket list". It's been a dream of mine since I was 8 to Great White Shark dive. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else except Guadeloupe Island.

I hope to see you on one of our trips soon!
