Diving with BULL SHARKS in Fiji... Here's What Happened
Welcome back to another episode of WE|Sail. EPISODE 336 Last week, we dove with black tip reef sharks - curious, peaceful, harmless. This week? Bull sharks. One of the most aggressive and dangerous shark species on the planet. We sailed to a new island in Fiji specifically for this: to dive with bull sharks for the first time. They're territorial, unpredictable, and capable of thriving in both saltwater and freshwater, which makes them one of the few sharks that venture into rivers and shallow coastal areas where humans are. They're in the top three for unprovoked attacks on humans. And today, we're getting in the water with them. This isn't something we're doing casually. We're diving with Kuata Barefoot Resort, one of the only places in Fiji where you can experience bull sharks in a controlled, professional environment. The dive masters know these sharks individually—they've named them, studied their behavior, and created a safe way for people to witness these apex predators up close. But here's the thing: this operation feeds the sharks. And when we found out, we had mixed feelings. Feeding changes their behavior, conditions them to associate humans with food. It's not how we prefer to see wild animals. But this team does it with extreme caution, respect, and years of experience. And honestly? The experience was unforgettable. Getting in the water, my nerves were through the roof. But once we were positioned and watching these powerful animals move through their environment, a calm washed over me. They're beautiful, commanding, effortless. You feel the respect immediately—you're in their world. We survived. And we'll never forget it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro 01:00 Moving to a new anchorage in Fiji 04:30 Erica takes the helm— no wind, no problem 07:00 Prepping for the bull shark dive 10:01 Dinghy to Kuata Island Dive Resort 12:30 Diving with bull sharks in Fiji 17:05 Beers and the dive debrief ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ⚓ Thanks for watching!
