Please see what our guests have to say: Guys, my first trip to Fiji and it won't be my last! Thanks so much for making us feel like VIP's. And I don't know how you managed to get the Tiger to show up at the last minute, but I'm so glad you did!! Vinaka Vaka Levu.
Tony and Deb - July, 2010.
My first trip to Fiji as a new diver and I have the experience of a lifetime - a whole beautiful underwater universe I never knew existed. Thank you to Mike and his amazing wonderful crew who assisted in making my trip and time I will never forget. Thank you, until next time! Vinaka. Maichee Weiss, LA USA - July, 2010
Hafa Adia! Thank you BAD team for an unbelievable and unforgettable diving experience! Jackie and Jeff, Guam - July, 2010
Malo e lelei! We've had a wonderful time in Fiji. The staff has been fabulous and the diving has been spectacular. We got everything we needed and more! The Shark Dive was a highlight. Malo anpito. 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! Paul and Pamela, Finchampstea UK - May, 2010 Nobody does Shark Dives better or safer. Thanks for all your professionalism and your conversations. See you next year! Vinaka. 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. Sarah - March, 2010.

Mike, Andrew and the crew of BAD. I cannot speak higly 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. Sam Cahil, Photographer - February, 2010

Vinaka! What a great opportunity to experience Sharks up close and personal!

The care and love that ALL the staff have towards these threatened species is truly admirable. Rosie - November, 2009. Wow - AWESOME!! Easily the best dive of my life.

So.... Along comes Marty Wolff, fresh from swimming with whales in Vava'u. Thought he'd done it all on this trip... NOT! SHARK CITY!! Killer Dive (in the good sense) Marty Wolff - September. 2009 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. Alex, Sharkman - August, 2009

Manuel - April, 2009 One of the greatest experiences of my life! Simply outstanding. I want the whole world to know about it, and I hope my children come to experience it as well. Stanley Simpson – March, 2009 Mai Life/Mai TV/Simpson @ 7 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 organization. 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! Estelle Davies and Martin Lavole, Hong Kong – (Cousteau Naturalists) – January, 2009 Fiji is wonderful of course, but it was a magic experience to be with the diver people of the Harbour. Nice and friendly and very experimented. What a pleasure. Thanks you so much for a unique experience. Maggy et Jean Luc, French/California – December, 2008

Kat Fisher and Lawrence Groth – May, 2008 Shark Diving International - http://www.seesharks.com 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. Jonathon Clay BBC – April, 2008
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.
Mark Strickland, UW Photographer The best Shark Dive Team in the World, the best experience ever. Michael Aw, Publisher, Underwater Photographer, Conservationist The hand feeding of the great Bull and Tiger Sharks sets a new standard for rapport between man and great predatory animals. Stan Waterman, diving legend Believe us: you’ll experience the adrenaline thrill of a lifetime! Lonely Planet Fiji, 2006 edition Hands down the most exciting Shark Dive in the World. Eli Martinez, Publisher, Shark Diver Magazine Best Dive Operator. AON Fiji Excellence in Tourism Awards 2006 I would recommend the Shark Dive to anyone visiting Fiji. Jonathan Clay, Producer “South Pacific”, BBC We have dove all over the World and we have not had a more fun, professional and safe experience than with Beqa Adventure Divers. Valerie and Dan, USA Seeing the sharks is bound to be an attitude-altering revelation. Doug Perrine, UW Photographer and Author The best dive I’ve ever done. Danielle, Australia On one dive you will see more species of sharks than the average diver sees in a lifetime. Howard Hall, UW Cinematographer Having dived around the world, this was the best, without doubt. Ken, UK It was really "BAD"! 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. John Earle, Research Associate, Bishop Museum, Hawaii Profitez-en, vous avez la chance de votre vie devant vous. Dominique, Switzerland Thank you for the best dive ever. Peter, UK WOW! This is impossible to beat! Snorre, Norway Fabulous Shark Diving and the best model for eco-tourism that I have found anywhere in all my Shark travels.
