The yacht stays here for 3 dive days where guests will rotate entering the cages every hour while seeing several sharks during each dive.
Guadalupe Island is located 200 miles southwest of Ensenada, Mexico on the Pacific coast of the Baja Peninsula. It is a rugged volcanic island, 25 miles long and the highest point is 4200 ft.
