Four hundred kilometres off Baja California, Isla Guadalupe sits in cold Pacific upwelling that draws adult great white sharks with near-certain regularity each autumn on multi-day liveaboard cage expeditions. Crystal visibility often exceeds thirty metres, and individual sharks return year after year, giving divers named-animal encounters rare anywhere else on Earth. September and October mark the apex of the season when the largest females dominate the submersible cages.
