Did the two-tank shark dive and the two-tank soft coral dive the next day—both very memorable and enjoyable. Had some reservations about doing the shark dive, but we’re soooo glad we did it!! I once said I’d never dive with bull sharks and now I’ve dove with 30 of them and have a much deeper appreciation for these incredible animals. It was honestly one of the coolest experiences of my life. And, the owners are great and accompanied us on the shark dive—they’re very passionate about marine life and conservation. I felt completely safe the entire time and surprisingly used very little air since I was so calm. The briefings were thorough and educational. If you’re on the fence, don’t be—just do it! :)
My partner and I are experienced divers (250-300 dives) but you don’t need to be. They take beginners too, on both the shark and coral dives. Our shark dives had 4 guests and 5 crew members in the water. Our coral dives had 7 guests and 2 guides, including three beginners.
We took our GoPro on the shark dive but (understandably) they have guidelines on what you can wear and take on the dive (e.g., no strobes or lights, no bright fins or gear). They have nice gear that they’ll lend you at no additional cost if needed. We were thankful for the extra wetsuit protection on the shark dives since you’re not moving around and could get cold wearing only a 3 mm.
If we had more time on our trip we would have done more coral dives since the two dive sites we did see were spectacular. Some of the swim throughs were just dripping with colourful soft corals, and there were a lot of fish too. It’s a beautiful area, both above and below the surface. Big thank you to Coral Coasts for sharing their backyard paradise with us!
I booked the 6 dive package via there website and I do not regret it. Alex has a good and professional team and they are all very kind to you. Alex has an incredible knowledge about the sharks and also about diving and he is happy to share that knowledge with you! So if you have any questions about sharks or about diving (theorie) Alex can probably answer these questions.
The shark dive is worth a trip but I recommend to try it during the summer season because of the amount of sharks you will see (according to Alex up to 100 sharks). During autumn and winter less sharks will appear but the dive is still pretty spectacular!
The coral dives are not as good as on other parts in fiji but it is still pretty nice to dive under some coral "bridges". Instead of a coral dive you can also go on a wreck dive and see some old sunken fish boats.
Also if the weather isn´t in your favour, they will tell you honestly if it is safe or not to go out diving and if not they will arrange something for another day.
I did the shark and soft coral dives with Coral Coast in May 2024. The Shark dive was the absolute best and felt very safe the entire time, especially given that it was my first ever dive after certification. Special mention to Petero aka Pedro, the best dive master and completely in control underwater. While all the people are great, a lot of the equipment malfunctioned so make sure to complete all check before jumping in.
Great people to dive with. The briefings were informative making the diver feel safe. The director Axcel has spades of knowledge about marine life and the reefs.
Did a shark dive, with them and it was excellent. The crew was very good and always offering a helping hand. They made you feel safe.
Definitely recommend checking them out if you’re looking for a diving activity in Fiji.
I did a 2 tank reef dive and the next day I went out on the boat to watch my partner who was doing her open water dives. The Fijian Staff are absolutely amazing. Tuberi, Wati and Sharon are fantastic guides and make you feel so safe in the water, ensuring all your equipment in functioning well before the dive and keeping a close eye on all participants throughout the underwater experience.
In 2022, when there were different owners, I also did my open water at this dive shop, as well as the shark dive with Tuberi and Wati. There are no instructors that know the sharks and the waters better then them and the other Fijian staff there. Other incredible notable people you will love to meet are Donald, the boat Captain and Lina who helped us around the dive shop.
We did not have a good experience with the new owners of the dive shop, so for that reason we won’t be diving there again whilst they are still running the shop.
But if you request to dive with the Fijian guides, you will have the best experience ever! They know the dives sites and the marine life better than anyone. I hope to see the shop owned by a local one day and I’ll be back in a heartbeat.
Bula and thank you for your review. We thank you for praising all of our staff that we have selected and trained personally to reflect the quality of service we offer to all of our guests. Once you had made us aware that you had dove once with our company and were friend with the previous owners, we made every efforts for your friend and yourself to have an unforgettable experience. We accommodated all your demands and requests from the multiple emails you kept sending to make you feel as comfortable as you were expecting it. It is unfortunate that your biases led you to leave a negative review however we do appreciate all feedback even the smallest ones. Thank you again for taking the time to write during your busy schedule and we wish you wonderful diving with other companies. Cheers
Fantastic crew lead by the incredible duo of Axcel and Mayra who bring their obviously deep love, respect and knowledge of sharks.
If you're a diver and visiting Fiji you really need to put a shark dive with Coral Coast Divers on your bucket list
