Great White Shark
Research Program 2005-2006
2005 was a banner year for the CICIMAR-PIER-Shark Diver research effort at Isla Guadalupe. The Shark Diver team with help from both MV Ocean Odyssey and MV Islander moved over three thousand pounds of gear to Guadalupe setting up the first semi-permanent research base there in history of the island. Complete with a generator, lights and research gear this base was the first of what we hope to be several bases on the island in the coming years.
Shark Diver is the only company in the USA offering financial and logistical support for serious shark research at Isla Guadalupe. Our investment in this critical program comes in part from divers who book their shark diving adventures with us. Thank you!

Project Overview
The Guadalupe White Shark population is a real marine science enigma. Very little is known about the reasons behind why these animals congregate here each year in such large numbers. We do know the vast majority of the sharks encountered during our arrival from Sept-Dec are young male sharks in the 10-14 foot class. We also know from sat tagging done by the Pfleger Institute for Marine Science that some of these animals are traveling great distances from the island and back each year. Is this a migration? If so why?
One of several questions we hope to answer over the next few years of careful field operations are local movement patterns, a complete census of animals, feeding patterns, prey behaviors, continuing DNA and blood samples, and more importantly the answer to the biggest question of all “why are these animals here”?
Long Range Tracking Program
The Pfleger Institute of Environmental Research in Oceanside, CA has been studying the great white sharks of Guadalupe Island since 1999. Their primary focus has been deploying satellite tags on the sharks. These tags stay on the animals for up to a year collecting data and then pop-up and transmit the data to a satellite, providing swimming depth and temperature and information on where the shark went while the tag was on (for more information visit The Pfleger Institute`s web site). They have also recently been working on a comprehensive photo identification project to try and assess how many sharks are at the island and keep track of when they are sighted at the island. This project relies heavily upon still images and video donated by divers who have visited Guadalupe. If you would like to contribute your photos, please contact Michael Domeier at michael@pier.org.
Research Donations
Ongoing shark research is an expensive enterprise-but the data collected is very important to the long term understanding and overall protective measures that will be put in place to safe guard one of the oceans most magnificent predators, the Great White Shark. Without a doubt the Isla Guadalupe Great White population is at risk from fishing fleets and its limited protected status in Mexcian waters. Absolute Adventures-Shark Diver in tandem with U.C Davis is looking for funds from the public sector to offset the costs of this large scale program. All donations are tax deductible. If you are interested in getting involved please contact us at the email below, the sharks and the Shark Diver crew thank you in advance for your involvement.
Cheers,
