All of our boat dives are guided by PADI Divemasters who have been diving the waters of Beqa since they were children. Knowing every small hole and hiding place on these pristine reefs, they are able to show divers all of the colorful and amazing treasures that these waters hold from Blue-ribbon eels, Clown Triggerfish, Leaf Scorpionfish to camouflaged day Octopus. You’ll be surrounded by rainbows of vivid pink and orange anthias and silver-blue fusiliers. Take some time to explore sunken wrecks or feed your adrenaline with Beqa’s ‘Big Fish and Shark Encounter’, a dive that teases you with huge groupers, bait balls of massive Trevally, and the chance to be up close and personal with 9 different shark species. Why not even travel out to the edge of the reef and dive along under the famous Frigates surf break, enjoying your lunch on the boat as you watch the waves crash, and then sneak in that third dive before heading back to the resort for happy hour.
Our beautiful house reef is perfect for diving any time of day or night, and unlimited shore diving is included in every dive package. Located straight out from the resort, the house reef boasts healthy hard corals, numerous juvenile reef fish, rays, and even the elusive seahorse who likes to hide in the shallow eelgrass. Reaching a maximum depth of 25ft (8m) this site is not only perfect for diving but makes an ideal protected area for snorkeling too. The dive center has complimentary snorkeling gear available for guests, as well as a full range of dive equipment for rental, night lights, and even UV lights if you want to try fluorescent night diving- the only way to see the true colors of the corals! Please reserve your dive gear rentals prior to your arrival.
The resorts On-site nitrox compressor allows divers to take advantage of extending their no-decompression limits, spending more time looking around the reefs in awe of the colors, or searching out the amazing hidden cryptic macro life. Not Nitrox certified? At Beqa Lagoon Resort you are able to partake in a wide variety of PADI specialty courses including Enriched Air Nitrox, a course that can be done in just one day. As a full-service PADI 5* dive center, we also offer a full range of courses from a basic introduction to scuba diving and the popular PADI Open Water course, through to entry-level professional level courses such as PADI Divemaster and PADI Assistant Instructor.

SHARK FEST 2024 July 29-Aug 5
Each year we dedicate a week at Beqa to diving with sharks plus shark education. We were privileged and honored to have one of the most iconic figures in the shark world, Dr. Erich Ritter, to supervise our shark conversation, education and Shark Fest at Beqa Lagoon Resort. Sadly, Dr. Ritter passed away in August 2020.
The world-renowned shark behaviorist hadalso established Shark School more than 15 years ago in Miami, Florida. This is the educational division of the Shark Education & Research Center in the Bahamas. Its main purpose is to bring humans closer to sharks, focusing on how to interact with them and to emphasize their crucial position and importance in the marine realm. The two main pillars of Shark School are ongoing scientific research on Shark behavior and Shark accidents.
We are fortunate to have joined with one of Dr. Ritter’s esteemed Shark School Colleagues, Chad Sinden, Chief Shark School instructor, to bring Shark Fest back to Beqa. We will continue Dr. Ritter’s work with Beqa’s sharks and carry on his passion and dedication to shark education. We are pleased to announce that Chad will be conducting our upcoming Shark Fest in July/Aug 2024.
