Swim With Great White Sharks

Are you a true thrill seeker? Here's a quick test: You're underwater, surrounded by great white sharks with only a metal cage between you and the ocean's fiercest predator. Are you: a) having a nightmare, or b) on vacation? If that sounds like leisure time to you, consider a multiday cruise with Great White Adventures to Guadalupe Island in Mexico. From August through December, you'll have the chance to dive in waters containing one of the most prolific great white shark populations in the world. Excellent underwater visibility and warm water offer ideal conditions for cage dives with sharks up to 21 feet long. There are also options for night cage dives, during which you don't see the sharks until they're right next to you, and deeper cage dives, which give you the chance to be surrounded on all sides by circling sharks. The hefty price tag of $3,195 for a five-day trip includes transportation from San Diego, three meals per day, beer and wine, and air-conditioned staterooms with private bathrooms and HDTV.
