5 years ago I did a trip and my experience was fantastic. Not only did I get to meet Brandon Cole a world class photographer but we had a great while nicknamed Snow White charge the cage I was in. Very Very Exciting.Now planning on returning

The oldest and most experienced West Coast (and other) shark trips. Many of them. The best

I have been diving with San Diego Shark Diving and Doc Anes for over 30 years now. He is one of the very best in the business. Always professional and always able to conduct all dives safely and sanely. I highly recommend this company.

This trip was my dream trip. I’m so glad I did it with this group. It was everything I could of hoped for. They were fun, professional & safe. Thankyou guys! 🦈❤️

I enjoyed their professional shark dive services. I have been diving with San Diego Shark Diving Expeditions several times. I dove for open ocean sharks such as Blues and Maco Sharks. I also took the Isla de Guadalupe great white shark dives and I loved it. I spent the extended great white shark trip diving with the sharks in the mornings and later in the afternoon went fishing for some yellow tail tuna. I could not have had better trips. Much cheaper than going to south africa to do the same dives.

The DREAM trip that totally delivered!!! Had an absolute fabulous time diving with great whites at Guadalupe Island. So good we booked a second trip! Plenty of cage time with amazing photo opportunities. When not in cage ---on deck was fun too. Able to help make chum and cannon shoot it. Treats, snacks, and food delicious. Accommodations adequate. I would have stayed for a month if I could have. The trip over is long but SO worth it. Doc has been doing this trip for years. He knows his stuff and is so knowledgeable. PERFECT! PERFECT! PERFECT! I have no suggestions for improvement. From boarding to departure everything was taken care of. We had an exciting dive where a great white put his nose in cage---thrilling!!!! The crew immediately knew what to do. Safety was at the center of the entire week and that cage was pulled because it was bent. No one complained. It was such an exciting week. For more excitement we witnessed a great white shark breach, and filmed a great white eat a blue shark in three quick bites. This is an easy dive if you can handle the excitement.We also did the San Benedicto and Socorro trip. Dolphins and a humpback mother and calf were the highlights. Felt like a freight train passed by, Awesome!!! The current was impressive on this trip---should be a strong swimmer.DOC and his crew rock!!!!

Ive gone to Guadalupe 3 times and San Diego shark diving helped with all the reservations. Doc is professional and FUN! Very knowledgeable about sharks and ocean life. I highly recommend !

Several years ago and it was the experience of a lifetime. Everything was handled safely and professionally. They are true professionals! Anyone interested in seeing beautiful white sharks in their habitat should do it with San Diego Shark Diving.

I am a PADI specialty instructor and have been on at least two of their blue shark diving tours. I was most impressed by their level of competence and professionalism. I have been on several shark diving tours with other operators and rank this operation at the top of my list.

From boarding the boat till you put your feet back on land, youll have the trip of a lifetime! Great service and one of the most knowledgeable operators in the business. Will definitely go again!

When it comes to shark diving safaris and expeditions, there is none better than Doc Anes and SD Shark Diving! The care for the animals and the divers is incredible and his understanding of the sharks, their behavior, their impact on the ecosystems etc. provides a complete, safe, and educational experience! Look no further! SD Shark Diving is the one!

I went on shark dives in SanDiego, Guadalupe Island and Galapagos with Sdshark Diving and ever trip was fantastic. Ever trip was organized, safe and underwater experiences that I will always cherish. Doc Ames is an amazing person to be associated with above the water and belowGeorge Kingston

I went on my first shark diving trip with Doc in 2001 to see blue and mako sharks off San Diego. In 2011, I was once again traveling with San Diego Shark Diving, but this time my wife and I went to Isla Holbox to snorkel with whale sharks. It was an amazing experience, and before we knew it, we were booking for another trip in 2012 to see great white sharks off Guadalupe Island (and we brought a close friend with us this time). Doc places an emphasis on safety and runs a fun operation. He also really seems to care about the conservation of the animals his business depends on. I hope some day to plan a fourth trip to see more sharks with Doc (and hopefully bring even more friends along).

Great white shark cage diving, at Guadalupe Island, Mexico, via short trip from San Diego to Guadalupe, the breeding area for great whites in the northern hemisphere, is short. A week of mellow cage diving in water some ten to twelve feet deep allows hours of exciting below water camera time as air breathed is not compressed. In excellent visibility, the highly trained crew, and the bossman, Doc Anes, are as experienced as anyone engaged in this activity.Aloha,Jim Krueger, Maui waterman

Booked my white shark trip through Doc. I was not anticipating him showing up to see me off on my grand adventure, but there he was with a smile on his face excited to see me so excited. Absolutely the trip of a lifetime!

San Diego Shark Diving is one of the oldest and most professional tour operators in the business. Doc is a solid professional and knows how to serve customers and even picky photographers! I have been on more than a dozen trips with SDSD diving with Blue, Mako, White and Whale Sharks all over the world. Life is good when diving with SDSD!

Doc Anes is San Diego Shark Diving!!! A consummate shark diving professional that puts safety and a good time first, Doc and his crew know how to get sharks to the boat, how to keep them there, and he does it in manner to allow photographers the potential to get clean bluewater images.My buddies and I dove for many years with SD Shark Diving back in the days when there was plenty of sharks offshore in San Diego (pre-mass shark finning), when Doc expanded his operation to Guadalupe, Mexico (Great Whites) and beyond I followed and the resulting trips have been experiences I will always treasure. SD Shark Diving is the BEST!!!

Amazing, once in a lifetime adventure! Crystal clear water perfect for pictures and video. Even the food on the boat is amazing! One night we had Tuna, caught, cleaned, seared and on the plate in about 10 minutes!

Super cool
