ENCOUNTERS WITH GREAT WHITES

Many describe being in the water with great whites as the pinnacle of adventure diving. Until recently, divers from North America had to journey to such distant locales as Australia and South Africa for a chance to see the apex predators in the wild. A few years ago a new destination for observing great whites underwater was discovered at Mexico's pristine Isla Guadalupe, located 250 miles southwest of San Diego, California and 160 miles west of Baja California. Besides the limited travel requirements for Mexican and North American divers, the new site offers shark divers distinct advantages: rather mild water temperature that hovers around 70-degrees Fahrenheit, super visibility, typically reaching more than 100 feet, and plenty of great whites - expect to see between 5 to 19 different animals on a three day expedition. Perry Armor made numerous trips to Guadalupe to document the thrill of going eyeball to eyeball with the dynamic predators on their home turf.
 
As a youth, Perry Armor watched far too many reruns of Sea Hunt and The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau, which led to a SCUBA certification in 1976, completed at the age of 15. In a fit of obvious insanity, he became a SCUBA instructor in 1991. After teaching for several years, he received advance training in cave and mixed gas diving. In 2000 Perry began working as a freelance underwater and topside cameraman. His work has appeared on national cable channels, BBC, network and local television. He has also shot footage for several TV commercials. He is currently working on a production entitled Cave Diving the Riviera Maya. Perry has recently changed addresses from southern California to Hawaii.
