I received an e-mail from Nautilus Liveaboards yesterday that Mexico is not opening the park for the white shark season in 2021. I have a deposit down and was scheduled to go in August. I can't seem to copy and paste the whole e-mail to SB, so here is an excerpt of the relevant information.

We are deeply disappointed to report that the Guadalupe marine biosphere national park remains closed by special proclamation and that we understand there is virtually no chance of the park opening before next winter. This government action will prohibit us from running our 2021 schedule of shark trips. All the national parks in southern Baja Mexico are open and we are operating trips out of Cabo San Lucas, La Paz, and San Ignacio Lagoon. We are confident that Guadalupe will be open for our 2022 season.

What Does This Mean for You?
We encourage all of our guests to book on a Guadalupe 2021 trip to rebook onto the soonest available 2022 Guadalupe trip or alternatively, to use their trip fee towards one of our other destinations or any 2021 travel product on offer by Nautilus or Baja Expeditions. There are no fees associated with this transfer and we will honor 2021 pricing on future trips that may have had a price increase. Space is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

I just saw a post from Solmar/Pacific fleets that the 2021 season is going to be open. Yay theres hope in my life again.

I posted the same bad news a month ago (see the link to my post in previous post, above). I rescheduled mine for the 2nd time to September 2022. When is yours?

I'm on a wait list for 2022, but it looks more likely the summer of 2023. :(
 
I know someone who was just advised that there has been an about-face and Guadalupe will be opening for tourism this year after all....
