"Beqa Adventure Divers - the name says it all - a magnificent adventure every dive.  The shark dives are without peer.  Nowhere else can you see bull sharks up close and personal with a competent and fully-professional crew watching over every diver's safety.  The bulls are beautiful and Rusi handles them with the skill of a bullfighter.  The operation is well thought out, efficient, friendly and warm.  The staff of BAD is a delight to dive with and all arrangements have been perfect.  The only way to see sharks: BAD.  Thank you Andrew for showing us this marvelous operation and one of the best examples of a positive story in marine conservation.  Good luck and best fishes."

"Greatest dive adventure ever.  Lovely, friendly, courteous, fun staff.  Excellent equipment.  Excellent tea and biscuits (FMF!!).  Brilliant location.  For a shark diver, I have never felt safer diving and there is no other shark dive like Beqa Adventure Divers.  God bless to all the staff.  Hope to see you again and have a Happy New Year!"

"Awesome times with the flying Fijians.  Cheers guys for the good dives & the many sharks and bulls on parade.  All the best."
Tim McKenzie (New Zealand) - Aug '07

"In July 2007 I made my 3rd visit to BAD.  Shark Reef has the biggest diversity of shark species I have ever encountered anywhere.  The BAD dive team is the perfect organisation, they exude professionalism, quality and true Fijian hospitality.  The boats and equipment are top notch and well maintained.  Diving with BAD is always a pleasure and the team goes above and beyond to help me get the images I am looking for.  However, BAD are not just about sharks.  The diversity of fish species on Shark Reef is incredible and the crew knows just where to find the hard to spot critters."
Klaus Jost (Germany) - July '07

"I'm going to miss everyone so much!  I'm going to come back as soon as I can!  Thank you for everything!"
Samantha Sherman (Canada) - June '07

Per (Germany) - Apr '07 

" The most professional shark feeding dive operation I have ever worked with.  The bull sharks were unbelievable!!  Thanks to you all so much.  The film 'Shark God' is now completed and will be shown on Discovery Channel."
David Ireland, The Wildlife Man (Australia) - Mar '07

"Wow!!  The crew is top notch, best in the business.  The shark experience is truly the world's best big fish encounter.  Cheers to you guys."
Scott & Delaney Blain, Aqualuminous Productions (USA) - Feb '07

"Thanks for two fantastic weeks of fabulous shark diving - and what a wonderful way to turn 40!  It was great to finally meet Mike, Andrew, Gary & Juerg - not to mention Manasa, Rusi, David and the rest of the extremely professional team.  I will be promoting this as the best model for eco-tourism that I have found anywhere in all my sharky travels.  Looking forward to returning with my own groups very soon."
Rob Allen, Shark Safaris (UK) - Jan '07

"This is our 3rd time diving with the BAD boys & girls in 18 months!  Best diving, best dive shop & staff and the fishes & the big sharks just make it a a very special place to come back time & time again.  An awesome experience that makes all other dives seem tame.  We will be back again.  A very big "Thank You" to all the staff who looked after us so well and Andrew, thank you for all your help in arranging this 3rd trip.  The kava was also great!!"

Kevin, Jason & Dave (Australia) - Sep '06 

"Shark Reef is a marine reserve recognised by the Ministry of Fisheries and monitored by Beqa Adventure Divers who feed nine (yes nine!) species of shark four times weekly.  The dive is promoted as The Big Fish Encounter and from the moment the handing out of 300 plus kilos of chum is begun, the reef is a frenzy of activity.  Giant trevally, red bass and rainbow runners are usually the first bigger varieties in on the action but it's not long before larger shapes loom into view.  White tip, black tip and grey reef sharks circle in numbers and on the day I dived they were soon joined by a large silver tip and a pair of large tawny nurse sharks.  Although sighted a couple of times in the first deeper dive it wasn't until the shallower second dive that the bull sharks came in to feed.  Much more staid in comparison to the reef sharks and contrary to what most would imagine the bull sharks (and indeed the three tiger sharks which are regularly fed but which unfortunately didn't make an appearance for me) were actually very timid, circling several times before warily coming in to take the bait.  But what a sight when they did!  The feed is conducted by an extremely experienced and professional crew with strict rules for both diver and shark alike.  No decompression limits and diver conduct are discussed thoroughly in the comprehensive pre-dive briefing as well as what you are likely to observe in terms of the larger sharks' behaviour.  Audience positioning is a clear safety concern although the spectacle of the feed is never forgotten.  Sharks are conditioned so that they are only fed when they approach from a certain direction, thus setting a standard yet also providing the audience with the best (and easily the scariest) view of their gaping jaws.  Ridiculously awesome dive."
Rick Davies (United Kingdom) - August '06

"Bula, Phenomenal diving with Manasa, Rusi, Eliki and the rest of the Beqa crew.  We had a wonderful time and will spread the word."
Pam Kelly (USA) - July '06

"Awesome Shark Dive!  Tiger shark was amazing and so close!  Couldn't expect anything more.  Great crew and very professional and friendly!  We will definitely come back."
Jeanne & Mike Fritz (New Jersey) - June '06   

"The most awesome experience!!  Congratulations on such a wonderful arrangement, everything so well planned for the comfort of the divers as well as your beloved sharks.  Thank you for making this possible.  See you next year."
Karl-Heinz & Mary Sittlinger (Cape Town, SA) - May '06

"Beqa Adventure Divers is top notch - extremely well organised, friendly + relaxed yet very professional.  The reef dives were very good - lots of vibrant, healthy soft corals + gorgonians, abundant fish life and interesting topography.  What I really came for though was the big animal encounter, and it exceeded my high expectations.  You've done a superb job of balancing safety with high adrenalin shark action.  Divers were thoroughly briefed, dive leaders obviously highly trained and very experienced.  Thorough planning + preparedness resulted in a safe, very exciting & enjoyable dive for divers with a wide range of experience levels.  And the animals....wow!  I'd have been happy with even a couple of those massive bull sharks, but our dive was truly exceptional - over a dozen big bulls, plus tawny nurse, whitetip reef, blacktip reef, grey reef AND a huge tiger shark!  Unquestionably one of the best shark dives in the world, and among the very best experiences I've had underwater in over 10,000 dives.  Keep up the great work.  P.S. Excellent effort on the shark conservation front as well!"
Mark Strickland  (USA) - Apr '06 

"Vinaka Vaka Levu!  Fear & awe for sharks!  Incredible!  They don't pay you guys enough to hold those fish heads for the bull sharks - huge mouths!  Just hope I don't see any when I'm surfing and glad there's none in Ireland!  I've faced my fear....  thanks to all the crew.  P.S. I touched a shark!!!"
Easkey Britton (Ireland) - Mar '06  

"We had the best time ever!  The diving is the very best & the staff and reefs were absolutley wonderful - everyone is very courteous and very friendly - very knowledgeable about everything.  I promise we will be back in 200*!!  Everyone stay safe and we'll miss all of you very much!!"
Jean & Bill Gardner (Colorado, USA) - Feb '06

"Incredible experience with Beqa Adventure Divers!  The staff is amazing and so helpful and amicable, knowledgeable.... they do it all fantastically well!  Thanks for making Fiji one of our favourite dive sites!"
Annie, John & Doug (Seattle, USA) - Jan '06                     

"Thanks to the staff for the amazing diving experience!  Great experience thanks to the crew.  Take care of the sharks.  Thanks Mini for your instruction."
Cory & Amie (Nebraska, USA) - Nov '05

"Out of all the dive companys I've been to in Fiji, you are the classiest and the most professional I've seen!!!  Bula Vinaka!  I'll be back."
Randy (Saskatoon, Canada) - Oct '05

"Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.  You guys made the 2 week trip of just getting to Fiji in one day!  Wow!!  Thanks for the cookies & warm tea.  Thanks for letting us jump off the boat too.  Vinaka Vakalevu!"
Katie (Monterey, USA) - July '05

"The best diving I have ever had.  Whatever we asked to see, we saw.  And it was the most entertaining surface intervals ever!!"
Shirley - April '05

"What a wonderful adventure.  We didn't know what to expect - your entire operation was more than we could have ever dreamed of.  The sharks were wonderful- what a Tiger Shark!  You made us feel comfortable and confident.  Everyone we know will know what a wonderful time we have had.  Thank you - we will be here again."
David, Lauren & Mitchell (New Hampshire, USA) - March '05

"The hand feeding of the great Bull and Tiger Sharks sets a new standard for rapport between man and great predatory animals. My footage of the action is as dynamic as anything I have ever shot."
Stan Waterman (USA) - Nov '04

"At B.A.D.'s Big Fish Encounter you have, not only the thrill of viewing multiple species of sharks at close range, but also the warm fuzzy feeling of knowing that if you weren't there paying to see these sharks, they would almost certainly be lying on the bottom with no fins instead of soaring gracefully through the undersea 'atmosphere'. Seeing the sharks totally focused on getting their share of the fish scraps and ignoring the divers is bound to be an attitude-altering revelation for the many divers who have been brainwashed by the media into believing that sharks will attack and devour humans on sight."
Doug Perrine (USA) - Oct '04

"The best shark dive in the world!"
Ron & Valerie Taylor (Australia) - Oct '04
