Thanks to over 333 islands and atolls, Fiji remains the worlds diving mecca. The reef itself is actually called Shark Reef Marine reserve and was founded in 2004. The indigenous Fijian population has a traditional cultural respect of Sharks and thanks to this, there has been no decline in their numbers.
I was always a bit more wary of Bullsharks after living in Sydney, we had a few attacks in the harbour but no thanks to the murky conditions of the water.
