Guadalupe 2011

After a hugely successful 2010, SDX was looking forward to the 2011 Great White shark season at Guadalupe Island with much anticipation. What we got was unquestionably the best season we have EVER had since diving began at the island over 10 years ago now! 6 trips, plenty of sharks (old and new), amazing guests and memories that will last with all of those lucky enough to board the MV Islander between Sep - Nov 2011. 
Here are some of our favorite shots from last year. They come nowhere near being able to successfully capture the beauty, majesty and wildness that is Guadalupe Island and its resident White sharks, but we will give it a shot!.....................
