This was posted by a local operator from a shark dive last week in Beqa Lagoon, Fiji. The camera rig was not recovered. Yikes!

There are a couple of operators in Beqa that run these baited shark dives. I’m really not a fan of behaviour modification for my entertainment - when the sharks are trained that boat + splash = food, I don’t want to be the splash! I did this dive 20 years ago and only nurse sharks turned up. Now they are regularly attracting bulls and tigers. I am always thrilled to see them under natural conditions but will stay away from artificial feeding frenzies.

I'm not a fan of these dives either.

Spectacular series of shots tho 🙂 Most sharks will n e v e r come close enough for photos w/o something to attract them, which might be fine. An acquaintance diver lost a rig in a similar fashion to a tiger shark in the Aldabra atoll some 20 years ago. Think it made the tv news in his home country (Netherlands) .
