Shark diving off Guadalupe Island in Baja California informed two decades of research and spawned a thriving tourist industry. But several bloody incidents fouled the water.
Hordes of tourists, scientists and professional film crews have for years flocked to Guadalupe Island off Baja California, eager to get within arm’s reach of a great white shark.
“As much as it pains me, we knew this day was coming,” the 40-year-old recently told the Union-Tribune. “It wasn’t a secret.” He remembers entertaining packed expeditions with nine crew members and up to 16 passengers — familiar families, bright-eyed amateur photographers, researchers eager to tag and study the 15- to 20-foot giants.
Cary Humphries, 60, who captained the Horizon for many years and eventually worked for Salmon, described the experience as “exhilarating.” Rather than damaging Pacific Fleet’s reputation, the video attracted more customers, and the company quickly bought a second boat. The charter boat operator involved in the incident, Canadian-based Nautilus Dive Adventures, did not return a request for comment.that, until further notice, bans cage diving at the island. It also referenced “bad practices,” including divers outside of cages, improper use of bait and dumping of pollutants.
Asked if boats were dumping pollution, such as sludge- and oil-filled bilge tanks, he said, “You name it. They did it.”A major point of contention was the cage design. Film crews wanted larger spaces through which to record the sharks in action. But that also created more opportunities for the animals to get caught between the bars.
