Diving with Sharks in Fiji
Sharks are magnificent creatures often misunderstood by the wider population as vicious creatures, but this isn’t the case. Despite being brilliant predators, they’re not interested in humans unless they flap about looking; humans aren’t part of their natural diet. However, the terrifying connotations we attach to sharks make them the perfect diving excursion for any adrenaline junky. One of the best places to dive with sharks is the Beqa Lagoon in Fiji, which is home to eight different species of shark.
