About this site

Shark Dive, also known as Beqa Shark Dive, is a reef dive site in Beqa Lagoon, Fiji, renowned for encounters with multiple shark species including nurse sharks, leopard sharks, bull sharks, tiger sharks, and hammerhead sharks, alongside Picasso triggerfish, soft corals, hard corals, tropical fish, and pelagic fish.

The reef reaches a maximum depth of 20 m, with water temperatures consistently warm at 25–29°C (77–84°F) and generally good visibility.

Current at this site can be strong and is best dived on an incoming tide; despite the strong current, the site is rated suitable for beginner divers, though the presence of multiple large shark species means divers should follow guide instructions carefully, with sharks themselves listed as a site hazard alongside the current.
