Guadalupe and San Benitos

The route includes three diving areas. At Guadalupe Island, cage diving with great white sharks is organized — one of the best places in the world for such encounters. The San Benitos Islands are home to sea lions and seals, as well as silky and whitetip reef sharks, tuna, and wahoo. The route also passes through the Channel Islands off the coast of southern California — a group of islands of varying size in the Pacific Ocean. Diving here is notable for the great diversity of marine life, the presence of sea lions, and forests of giant kelp where you can encounter colorful garibaldi fish.
