BEQA LAGOON SHARK DIVES
Beqa Lagoon
, 12km south of Pacific Harbour, is renowned for its
shark-feeding dives
,
which attract divers from across the world. On a good day you may see up to a hundred
sharks over the two dives, including reef sharks, silvertips, tawny nurse sharks, sicklefin
lemon sharks, menacing-looking bull sharks and the occasional tiger shark, as well as
schools of other large fish taking advantage of the free food (mostly tuna heads from a
nearby factory). The best dive sites are on the western tip and north side of the lagoon, best
accessed from Pacific Harbour, where accommodation is more affordable and dining more
diverse than on the island of Beqa itself.
DIVE OPERATORS
Both of the companies here claim an excellent safety record, but if you fancy a more sedate
experience there are also soft coral and wreck dives available in the lagoon on the days that
the sharks are not fed.
