I just got back from an awesome trip to Guadalupe

We went late in the season on the Nautilus Explorer. The advantages of going late in the year is that the big female white sharks show up, but you risk encountering poor weather. We were very fortunate to hit perfectly flat conditions, clear water, and perfect visibility. It was epic. Here are a few photos from the trip.

There are more at Isla Guadalupe 2011 - a set on Flickr. I am still working on the photos so check back periodically for more.

Enjoy!

Fantastic shots, thanks for sharing!

Amazing! Really like #3.

Hi Steve. I am booked on the NE for the last trip of the season in 2013 then off to Socorro for ten days of fun. I notice that you were using the 15mm and the 17-40mm. Was the 15mm to wide at times or was there plenty of up close photo ops. Seeing these images just makes me wanna go next year as well.

Great shots!! I liked nr 2 with the spotted shark. Congrats, I was not so lucky in October 2010.

Man those sharks look HUGE.

I won a trip to go out with the Rodney Fox crew in South Australia and seeing your shots has made me very excited.
