You can get a hold of Top Dive. I dove with them when I was there. They should be able to help you out.

In 1999, they had a place called the Lagoonarium which was essentially an island with the lagoon fenced in.
It was interesting in that there were turtles, rays, a manta ray, numerous fish from quite large to small and about 25 sharks. There were numerous coral heads as well with lots of cool stuff. The sharks tended to stay away and they gathered toward one end. As you moved close to that end, the sharks started appearing in groups around you. Two there, one there, three here. All around as they pass you going toward the other end. They also had the shark/ ray feeding trip where they take you to a place near the outer reef, about 5 feet deep and you stay in line, holding a rope attached to nothing, while the Tahitian guide throws chunks of fish out and even hand feeds them. You can hear the bones rip when the shark bites. The sharks came to less than 1 foot away before turning off from us. It was amazing in that before you got in the water, you couldn't see anything except some shadows, but in the water, there are fish everywhere. Then you left for a spot with many rays. Big around, they were flying carpets all around you. That was really an amazing experience to see so many rays. Then they take you to a big coral garden for snorkling.
We went through the Pearl Beach resort to do these but I'm sure you could find these through any of the resorts.
