It is the best value way to dive the Beqa Lagoon and Coral Coast divers offer BBQ, coffee and pizza. The 'Establishment' pub across the road also serves noteworthy food.
Plus tawny nurse sharks, lemons, silvertips, all the reefies and occasionally tigers. Coral Coast Divers are progressive, passionate about sharks and conservation. Dive groups are small and their shark dives has the best viz.
The 'Colosseum' is also the dive site accessible from Pacific Harbour with the best shot at seeing a tiger.

There are many marine environments around the world which have been virtually emptied of sharks by humans. In Fiji the shark feeds of Beqa Lagoon actually protects shark populations as these noble lords of the deep have an economic value. The villages who own the reefs in Beqa have stopped granting fishing rights. Your marine protection levy goes to the village chiefs and in exchange the sharks are fed, the remainder of the food has filtered down the eco systems and rejuvenated these reef systems.
Carpet Cove begins at the deepest point with the scuttled wreck of an old fishing vessel. Sunk back in 1996 the wreck sits upright and is covered with black sun coral (Tubastrea micrantha) and soft corals. Adjacent to the wreck are pinnacles rising to a 5 metre acropora shelf filled with orange lyretails. Plenty of aquatic life to be seen.
ET is a photographers delight. Volcanically formed bommies festooned with gorgonia, seawhips and a range of soft corals are home provide a beautiful frane for wide angle shots. Nocturnal fish such as big eyes and soldiers frequent the caves and overhangs and blue ribbon eels nuzzle into the sea bed. Nudibranchs, critters, anthias and other damselfish.
A clutch of 5 current swept pinnacles from around 30 metres to 5 metres deep provide gorgonians and orangey yellow Melithaeidae filled nooks and crannies. A Y shaped swim through provides stunning light shards amid the technicolour corals. Lionfish, morays, turtles and a range of fish inhabit the reef.
Where we pay homage to Beqa's apex predators. Situated in front of a small reef system divers descend to a 19 metre depth and kneel behind a man-made wall. The sharks are waiting. An unchaotic frenzy of shark feeding plays out as divers kneel under Beqa's safety divers ready with sticks. The sharks feed from a bin in the background area up high whilst when the sharks allow the handfeeders hold up fish heads from a steel bin close to the wall. Don't blink and you get to see the amazing spectacle of the ginormous jaws of a bull shark clamp down on its dinner.
7 pinnacles clustered together to explore surrounding by schools of lyretails. The highlight is the Tasu II longliner which sits upright at 25m. The wreck is nicely encrusted in corals and is home to pipefish, emperors, batfish and a range of critters.
