The Guadalupe trips provide extremely good topside photography. You may capture the action of a breach attack or photograph natural
predation events. Nothing can top an airborne 5000 lb shark. Guadalupe provides the best underwater shots. The water visibility averages 20 ft.
We have had many underwater photographers on our expeditions. All types of cameras and video cameras have been used, but smaller is better.
Nikonos, Sea & Sea and Sea Life cameras are streamlined and easy to use in the cage. Housed SLR's, digital and video cameras are excellent
as well. Sharks are large and come close to the cage, so a 15mm to 35mm lens is suggested. Many find a 20mm optimal. We recommend you leave
your strobes at home. Our shark photographers find strobes are unnecessary. Also, it is difficult to evenly light a large shark with strobes.
The leeward side of Guadalupe where we anchor, is usually blessed with clear sunny skies. During midday your first choice would be
a fine-grained film (ASA 64-100). Before 9:00 am, after 3:00 pm or if the boat is anchored in a position where the island blocks
the sun, you may wish to bump up your film speed a notch or two (ASA 200-400).
