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

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.

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

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!

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
