Enter a state of negative buoyancy. Then descend into a protected sanctuary off the shores of spectacular Fiji. Here, in these mystical waters, it’s all shark week all the time.
Observe bull, lemon and tiger sharks, all on a single dive. At the Shark Reef Marine Reserve, dispel the myths that surround sharks and interact with multiple species in a controlled setting. Learn all about shark biology and behavior. Contemplate their incredible survival over the past 400 million years and discuss their future. Even assist with research and conservation efforts. But in Fiji, the study of sharks isn’t limited to the ocean. In a Fijian village, listen to locals tell stories of Dakuwaqa, the ancient Shark God. And with the chief’s permission, hike Shark Fin Hill where you can commune with these intriguing and revered animals.
“We were all so sad to leave, from our first shark and coral dives to whitewater rafting, we had the time of our lives!” — Stephanie Hopp, Los Angeles, CA
