About The Colosseum
The Colosseum is a private Beqa Lagoon shark sanctuary off Pacific Harbour. The site is set up like an underwater amphitheater, with controlled shark-viewing over a reef arena rather than a drift line or open wall. Bull and tiger sharks are the main draw, but multiple shark species and dense fish schools are what make the dive feel like a staged encounter.
