At Fiji's Shark Reef Marine Reserve, tiger sharks join bull sharks, nurse sharks, and grey reef sharks on regulated baited dives that have set the global standard for multi-species shark tourism. Tigers appear less predictably than bulls but their sheer size transforms any dive when they cruise through the arena. Austral summer from November through February offers the strongest multi-shark days.

Up to 72% sighting chance in Beqa Lagoon (Fiji). Best months: January, February, December.
Tigers appear regularly but not every dive. Bull sharks are the primary species at Shark Reef, with tigers as a frequent bonus when they cruise through the baited arena.
November through February typically sees the most multi-species shark activity including tigers during the austral summer warm-water window.
No. Shark Reef is a regulated baited open-water dive without cages. Divers sit at fixed depths while tigers and bulls share the arena under Fiji Shark Conservation protocols.
Advanced Open Water is typically required for depths of 18 to 30 metres. Boats depart Pacific Harbour operators for the short crossing to Beqa Lagoon; moderate currents can run on the reef edge.
Two-tank shark dives typically run 280 to 380 FJD per diver (2026 prices), the same tariff as bull shark days since tigers appear on the shared Shark Reef profile.
