Great White Shark Cage Dive - 2006

Sharks have been my favorite animal since I was a kid - primarily the Great White shark - and yes, Jaws is one of my favorite movies. I had been doing research for years prior to this trip to find a way to see this amazing fish in person. The only options at that time were very expensive trips to Australia or South Africa - not very accessible from Chicago.

In the early 2000s, Great Whites were discovered in the waters off of Guadalupe Island - a protected island 150 miles off the coast of Mexico. This adventure was now a possibility! So, when I eventually moved to Los Angeles, I fulfilled a lifelong dream of cage diving with Great White sharks. It was amazing.
