Comments This was my 7th and 8th dives with Aqua-Trek at the shark feed at Bistro, starting in 2010. Every dive has had Bull sharks. 2 dives this year also has Lemon, Tawny nurse, grey reef and white tip reef sharks. Have also seen silver tips and black tip reef sharks on previous dives but have never seen the rare tigers that occasionally come. Beqa Lagoon Resort used to use Aqua-Trek but now have their own shark dive at "Cathedral" where the claim Tigers 90% of time. The bulls are potentially dangerous but are far more interested in the bait handler than the observers. should one come close to the observers, it is prodded away by divemasters with aluminum prods.
