Dive operators and their customers are pushing the envelope at Mexico’s Guadalupe Island, the world’s premiere destination for diving with great white sharks. Some operators have called it an “arms race” to make the encounters with the large predators more and more extreme.

Operators are pointing fingers at each other as to which methods of encounters with the great whites are illegal, but most agree upon one thing: if there is an accident, the Mexican government will likely shut the whole business down, potentially paving the way for poachers to slaughter the sharks.
