You'll receive a thorough safety briefing before each dive covering descent, ascent, boat procedures, and how to behave around sharks in their natural environment.
On the Cathedral Fiji Shark Dive, you may encounter tiger sharks, bull sharks, lemon sharks, tawny nurse sharks, silvertip sharks, blacktip reef sharks, whitetip reef sharks, grey reef sharks, and silvertips, along with massive groupers, schooling trevally, and countless reef fish.

Shark dives generally operate on selected days of the week, typically Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday (subject to change and availability). Places are limited, so we recommend registering your interest when you book your stay to secure a spot on the Cathedral Shark Dive. Both Cathedral and Apex shark dives are available exclusively to guests staying at Beqa Lagoon Resort.
For the Cathedral Shark Dive and Apex Shark Dive, we recommend that divers are comfortable in the water and have recent experience at the required depths. Our team can suggest a combination of easier reef dives and house-reef dives to regain confidence before joining the shark dive. New divers can start with PADI training courses and relaxed reef dives to learn to dive in Fiji's pristine waters.
