Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know Before Diving with Sharks in Beqa Lagoon

Is shark diving in Fiji at Beqa Lagoon Resort safe?

Safety is our top priority. Our shark dives follow strict procedures, and our experienced captains, crew, and PADI Divemasters have been navigating and diving these waters for many years. 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.

Which shark species can I see on the Cathedral Shark Dive?

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. This diversity of species makes it the best shark dive in fiji. Sightings vary with conditions, but this remains one of the most celebrated shark dive experiences in the world.

On which days do shark dives operate?

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.

Do I need to be an experienced diver for shark diving in Fiji?

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.

Is Nitrox available at Beqa Lagoon Resort?

Yes. Our on-site Nitrox compressor allows qualified divers to extend their no-decompression limits and spend more time exploring Beqa's reefs and shark sites during your Fiji Shark Dive Beqa Adventures. Not Nitrox certified yet? You can complete the PADI Enriched Air Nitrox specialty in as little as one day during your stay.

Can non-divers and kids enjoy the resort while others are shark diving?

Absolutely. Non-divers can relax by the pool or beach, enjoy our full-service beachfront spa, join cultural activities, go kayaking or snorkel the house reef. Kids can participate in age-appropriate programs and Bubble Maker experiences, making Beqa Lagoon Resort a perfect choice for mixed groups of divers and non-divers on dive travel to Beqa Island.
