Shark Diving in Fiji. One of the best in the world
While most of the world fears sharks and views them as dangerous predators, in Fiji sharks are protected, respected and even revered as gods. Madison Stewart, Fusion’s resident Shark Girl, travels to this archipelago in the South Pacific, to explore how the Fijian shark-god, known as Dakuwaqa, plays into the protection and conservation of the region’s sharks. By speaking with tourism operators, conservationists and local residents, Stewart shows us how Fiji became one of the few places on the planet where sharks aren’t just protected, but also play a vital role in the economic success of the region.
