Heads up: this is an independent, unofficial guide — not the operator’s official website. Trip details, seasons, and any prices are general/illustrative and may be out of date. Always confirm current itineraries with SD Shark Diving and book only through the operator.

SD Shark Diving (San Diego Shark Diving Expeditions) is associated with liveaboard shark-diving trips to some of the planet’s most famous big-animal destinations — and is credited with helping pioneer great white cage diving at Guadalupe Island. This independent guide gathers publicly available information to help you understand the territory, then points you to the operator’s own channels to actually book.
