One of the main highlights is the famous shark dive at Beqa Lagoon, around 35 minutes away by boat. You can read more about the experience in this  Beqa Lagoon shark dive guide. Often called “The Colosseum,” the dive takes place at around 18–20 meters, where divers remain in position as multiple shark species pass by. Expect to see bull sharks and tiger sharks, along with lemon sharks, nurse sharks, and several types of reef sharks. It’s a well-managed experience and one of the most unique dives in Fiji.

Aside from sharks, divers may also see dolphins, macro life, and seasonal visitors like whale sharks and humpback whales. With a variety of dive sites available, it’s easy to balance more thrilling dives with slower, scenic ones.
