      We are excited to bring back Beqa's Shark Fest in 2024

      29 July – 5 August, 2024Each year we've dedicated a week at Beqa to diving with sharks plus shark education under the leadership of Dr. Erich Ritter, a world-renowned shark behaviorist. We were privileged and honored to have one of the most iconic figures in the shark world to supervise our shark conservation and education during Shark Fests Fiji at Beqa Lagoon Resort.  In August 2020 Dr. Erich Ritter sadly passed away.We are fortunate to have connected with one of Dr. Ritter's Esteemed Shark School colleagues, Chad Sinden, to continue Dr. Ritter's work with Beqa's sharks.

      — "My journey to the ocean was a little different. I wish I could tell you that I was one of these people who were born beautiful and always stared longingly at the sea when I was a child, hoping to be at one with the ocean as I so often hear. But I can't. I had to conquer some personal challenges before I found sanctity in the sea."
      Sharks and life underwaterTo look into the eye of a shark as it glides past you or have a 15 ton animal approach you out of curiosity and looks you directly into the eye is like having a supreme being gaze directly into your soul. You don't need drugs or alcohol to get high, you need to jump in the water with Megafauna. Creatures that have been here for over 400 million years. We study dinosaurs in books and museums but we only need to turn to the ocean today to discover the largest animals that have ever existed. We are sadly in the last age of the big animals. My love for sharks and megafauna comes from a time in my life when the word held no magic, no wonder and no mystery. I rediscovered that magic underwater. I hope to create awareness with the power of story telling, imagery and video to inspire you.
      If I can do it so can you.
      PADI award-winning scuba instructorWhy scuba? Over 6000 dives around the world I am privileged to have been able to introduce a wide range of people and cultures rich or poor to the beautiful underwater kingdom. That happy accomplishing "high 5!" is just as satisfying for me whether it comes from a 10-year-old, a person with learning/physical disabilities or a 70-year-old. I have taught them all and the feeling of gratitude I have never gets old. There is only one way to fall in love with the ocean... and that is to get in it! What are you waiting for!? Let's go diving!
