Some friends and I chartered a boat from Stuart Cove's for a private dive trip. First the good. Wendy in the reservations office did an outstanding job getting everything lined up so that our trip ran smoothly. Now the bad. The dive master (Rupert) enforced extremely restrictive dive profiles. On the first dive (max 80 ft), I came up with... more

We went in April, and we did the regular shark dives (swam with them on the first dive, witnessed feeding on the second dive in the semi circle). What an impressive operation Stuart's got there. The staff knows their jobs, run a tight, efficient shop, and provide answers and anything you need. The dive masters and camera folks were great,... more

Stuart Cove's is the giant dive presence in New Providence, Nassau, Bahamas. With four 48-foot vessels, and seven 40-foot vessels, they have 40 instructors and guides, not including support staff. Prices are reasonable, especially if you book in advance ($95 for two-tank, or $140 for the shark dives). They will pick you up at major hotels and resorts on older... more

I have to give Stuart Cove's Dive Bahamas a great review because of their willingess to work with us! We booked the two tank wall dive and shark feeding dive through the Comfort Suites. Our two (non-diving) kids tagged along with us (ages 9 and 12). I was a little nervous because I hadn't been diving in 4 years and... more

This dive was a piece of cake. I should've signed on for the shark dive. The wreck dive and reef dive was great, but nothing chalenging. The visibility was awesome, reminds me of Philippine waters. The crew members were very nice. So No negatives to write about here. more

My husband and I went diving with Stuart Cove's, Nassau a few weeks ago. Their boats were large and crowded. The dive masters were very unfriendly (no one said hello or asked our names) though we were told to sign a roster to make sure they didn't lose anyone along the way. What was the most disapointing was that we... more

Thanks Stuarts Cove! They picked us up at our hotel (Sheraton Nassau) and we had a blast. We did the 2 dive excursion. The reef is colorful lots of fish and the Shark dive is awesome -they do have it down! No one injured and we got to see 8 sharks on our trip. more

My husband and I did the "scuba subs" at Stuart Cove on May 15th, 2009. You may have seen these on the travel channel--where your head is in a "bubble" and it stays completely dry! You can cruise around the ocean at 15 feet on your personal "water scooter", as I like to call them. The dive team that assists... more

We enjoyed our SUB adventure thoroughly and the staff was wonderful! We went over Memorial Day weekend (on a Friday afternoon) and there were only four of us on our tour (my husband & I and one other couple). The shuttle ride took around an hour, but it gave us the opportunity to see different parts of the island. They... more

I recently took a trip to the Bahamas and stayed on Paradise island at the Comfort Suites. We did not rent a car so after reading several positive reviews about this snorkle/dive outfit I was excited. For the price... I got what I paid for. I was picked up at my hotel and taken on a snorkling excursion. Here's how... more
