Please see what our guests have to say:
My wife, Olivia, and I came here for our honeymoon. The dives were great and it was my first time trying the cave diving. Went into the sunk vessel and the cave really gave me some amazing feeling, although it started up with some panic at the beginning. Both of us enjoyed it alot and we are planning our next trip here to see the sharks show, which we could not watch due to BAD being fully booked!

To all the BAD boys, Nani, Mike and Andrew. Thank you so much for putting up with me for the past two month. The sharks have been 'wananavu', but it's been the people who have made my time here so special! Mike, thanks you for giving me the opportunity to dive with the sharks for 2 months - 75 dives done and it's never gotten boring! So much can be learnt from what you have here, I just hope Juerg and I's work can reflect that. To the guys, a lone female could have felt pretty intimidated amongst all you lot but it has been a pleasure getting to know you all. Each one of you has made me feel so welcome! It's been fun - even on the cold, wet, windy days (I'll bring three wet suits next time!). To Nani, there can never be enough thank yous' said. I felt accepted into your home from day one. I will miss you, but I am leaving having gained a special friend. Andrew, please take this as my notice of resignation of 'toilet paper girl'. I just hope you can fill the position quickly! Anyhoo, I will take home a lot of great memories, look after eachother. I will miss all of you. See you later (Trusup!)

Bula! Thank you for a wonderful time. We enjoyed our trip - very memorable :) We'd love to come back, hopefully soon enough. Keep up the good conservation work and "Terima Kasin" again from Malaysia!
Hello to the BAD team! Thanks for a wonderful dive experience and most all for taking such good care of us, and the Sharks. Papa's story is worth a hundred fire side takes - You Rock, Papa! The most memorable was the Nurse Shark experience where its the first time I've ever seen sharks bed for food or look into the wheelie bin for scraps! Naughty Nurses! Remembering the Hunter and Predator Dive Teams.

We were here in March 2009 - and had such a good time we came back!!! Once again, an awesome experience. The sharks were so great. Your conservation efforts are to be admired, as well as the teams professionalism and friendliness. Sivo, we gave you two lifts home, but no Tiger Shark - "What the!?!". Well, I guess we keep coming back to see the Tigers!

Dear Beqa Adventure Divers, We, the Broadreach kids, would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to each and every one of you. Beqa Adventure Divers has greatly influenced all of our lives in a fantastic way. Every dive the excellent dive masters would take care of us, whether it was through mountains of soft coral or in the face of feeding bull sharks. Even though sometimes we were clueless you guys showed us the way and gave us an experience we will never forget. We would also like to thanks Andrew for speaking to us about the ecotourism, it was really interesting to learn about how this incredible dive adventure came to be. Also, thanks you Mike for all you have done for Shark Reef and for us, you impact in Shark Conservation is phenomenal. Arthur, thanks for being an awesome Marine Biologist and maintaining the database. Tumbi, Fabi, Bill, Wili, Wati, Sivo, Lui, Silio, Manasa and Eliki, thanks for showing us the underwater world and keeping us safe through it all. You showed us sea cucumbers, rays, slugs, seahorses, and sharks and we are so grateful to all of you for making our trip the wonderful experience it is. Netani and Wati, thanks for being amazing boat drivers and taking us to the beautiful places we enjoyed so much. Nani, thank you for making us those delicious lunches and managing the office of the greatest dive operation in the WORLD! We will miss all of you so much, we really appreciate you guys welcoming us to your country, making us feel at home and with your kindness and guidance changing our lives for the better. We will remember everything you taught us about diving, conservation and the Fijian Spirit.
Love, The Broadreach Group.

Dear BAD team, We can't thank you enough for all you have done for us the past two months. Diving with the Sharks at SRMR has been an incredible and unforgettable experience. Equally unforgettable is your smiles, kindness and professionalism. This is most definitely the BEST Shark Dive in the World and a fantastic example of conservation and eco-tourism. It's been an exceptional learning opportunity that our students will never forget. Chris and I have only been out of water a few days and we already miss the bold gray reefs, the huge bulls and of course... the incredible Tiger! We'll greatly miss all of you as well. Vinaka Vaka Levu and Moce.

To Beqa Adventure Divers, This is my third trip to Pacific Harbour to dive with BAD and the Sharks, and this was the best trip by far! The number of sharks and professionalism or the staff are unmatched. What makes BAD my favorite Shark Diving operation is that its staff treats the sharks with respect and the dives take place in a rehearsed, safe and predictable manner. Thanks for the very special opportunities and treating me like family. I'll be back!

Thanks to Andrew and Arthur for taking time out of your schedules to teach us about the Shark Reef Marine Reserve, BAD and Shark Conservation. A HUGE thank you to Nani and the other Dive Masters wives for all the AMAZING food - we are so grateful! Also, thank you Manasa and Tumbi for providing us a magnificent experience on Beqa Island!

Lori Bachelor-Smith and the PADI Crew - June, 2010
We have a simple rule - never go back to the same place twice. We broke that rule - this is the most amazing place to see beautiful sharks in a well managed professional environment. The Dive sites are amazing and the Sharks unbelievable and the dive crew first class. Another big thank you and we will be obliged to break our rule again!

Lupo - April, 2010
After four days of diving, I have to say that this has truly been an amazing experience. In particular to watch the feeders have a connection with the sharks and to encounter a sustainable Marine Conservation project that involves the whole community. This is something that should be modeled all over the world. I have nothing but respect for BAD and what they have achieved. See all of you again soon.
Shirley Zhang - April, 2010.
Thank you so much for this week: Amazing, Wonderful I have dreams for all my life! The BAD TEAM is great, welcoming and professional. After five dives - Tiger Shark for me!! Good luck for the future.

Mike, Andrew and the crew of BAD. I cannot speak highly enough about this dive and the work done behind the scenes. I only wish that ALL Dive Operators took as much interest in the Ecosystems they derive income from. On a personal note, I leave BAD with loads of sensational pics and memories.

This was by far the best Shark Diving that I have ever done. It has been a pleasure to meet and dive with the BAD team. Besides the thrill of the Shark Encounters, Beqa Adventure Divers are doing much more - they educate the public about the importance of Shark and Marine Conservation and the help the local villages with funds collected. Keep up the great work guys. May Dakuwaqa always look out for you. Best wishes and thanks.

Bula BAD team, Thanks again for making us feel so welcome and a part of the family. As usual, Shark Reef delivered the odds, with more fishes for the total count – 420 and plenty of shark action. You all run a truly professional organisation.
Best of luck,
Mahalo, Rob Whitton – February, 2009
Bula BADdies, working in Ichthyology, I only have eyes for fish, but yet I couldn’t help noticing many large grey shapes buzzing around. Impressive, and thanks for keeping them at a respectful distance while I grubbed for gobies…. Of which there are an extraordinary number on Shark Reef. So look down folks!
Aloha and Mahalo, John Earle – February, 2009
Loved the sharks, Bull, Whitetip, Blacktip, silvertip, nurse shark. Also loved the nudibranchs (size doesn’t matter!!) But most of all the crew (our personal body guards!) were the best. Thank you!

A very big Thank You to all the staff of BAD. Excellent and unique diving with very professional staff - the sharks truly are awesome. I could recommend the shark dive to anyone visiting Fiji - it instantly dispels the myth that sharks are aggressive cold blooded killers and allows a full appreciation of their grace and power. Best of all, its great to see how the dive operation is protecting the reef and all its fish – this is a really fantastic example of conservation is action and I congratulate all of the people of BAD and the villages of Galoa and Wainiyabia for making it happen.

John Bantin, DIVE magazine
What can we say – the most amazing experience we’ve ever had.
Nikki and Spence, UK
The health of the Shark Reef Marine Reserve reef may be the result of four years of good stewardship. The 381 fish species recorded during a brief window of time in a limited area is an impressive number and indicative of a rich and diverse fish fauna. The shark population at SRMR would appear to be supported by a solid foundation at lower trophic levels.
