Stuarts Cove Shark Dive

Recommended Posts

This was my take on Stuart's Cove snorkel trip:

 

Nassau: “Snorkel Bahamas Adventure” is a 5-½ hour trip operated by Stuart’s Cove. On a previous excursion I went on the impressive Athol Island snorkel. The boat trip is @ three hours, and visits Schoolhouse Reef, the spectacular Golden Key Reef and finally a “swim with the sharks” at ‘The Wreck of the Bahama Mama’. I have never before witnessed such a number and variety of fish as at Golden Key. There are never-ending fish, large and small, singly and in large schools. The floor is decorated with huge, magnificent coral formations of all shapes and sizes. While there, a shark cruised past our group. He obviously thought this was his ocean and didn’t know, nor care, that we weren’t scheduled for a shark encounter until after Golden Key. Surprisingly, getting in with a dozen or so sharks is not frightening. I suspect we were too caught up with their grace and magnificence to be scared. The fact that the boat captain hadn’t lost a diver in twelve years was also encouraging. This is a five star, gold medallion, prime trip, not to be missed!

Can someone tell me about the Shark Dive with Stuarts Cove. I can't find any information on the first dive before the shark dive.

 

Thanks!

 

I did that dive. The first dive is in about 60-70 ft on a ledge that drops to around 6000 ft. We saw sharks swimming around on the first dive. While the second shark dive was good , I actually had more fun on the first dive.
