15 Top Cold-Water Dive Sites Around the World

Isla Guadalupe

Isla Guadalupe Cage Dive, Isla Guadalupe, Mexico; Guide: Solmar V (solmarv.com); With easy live-aboard access from Southern California, visibility better than 100 feet, and one of the world’s largest nearshore populations of great whites, Mexico’s Guadalupe Island is the most diver-friendly white-shark destination in the world. Sharks here are so prolific that if you bring a camera, it’ll feel like shooting fish in a barrel — except you’re the one in the barrel, and the apex predators are eyeballing you from beyond the bars.
