Another great trip with Stuart Coves! My husband and I love to snorkel when on vacation and we enjoyed our trip with Stuart Coves. They picked us up at our hotel and took us to their location which is a long drive but it's worth it. We went to two snorkeling spots where we saw lots of colorful fish. I... More

My boyfriend and I decided to do our open water certification in the Bahamas. We were picked up at 7:30a and it took roughly an hour to make it to the dive shop. This isn't a bad thing, just wanted to give everyone a heads up about the length of the drive. The lengthy drive means a short boat ride... More

Stuart Cove was not the cruise ship excursion provider but we had heard of them before and found that they run a cruise port transportation dive. They are famous for handling the diving and underwater work for a number of films and lots of shark week videos. We were a bit concerned that they didn't ask about our certification level... More

My husband and I signed up for a first time scuba dive. One dive spot about a 15 minute ride out for 30-40 minutes in 20-30 feet, instructor / student ratio 1:4. The instructor was very thorough with the safety instructions. Once we were in the pool to go over clearing the mask and taking the regulator out of your... More

I scheduled the SUB experience one week in advance. We were picked up at noon. They offer transportation. My teenage son and daughter had been waiting to have the experience for a couple of years. There are age and height requirements. Staff were very friendly and helpful. They will assist you to get inside the individual SUB and divers will... More

My family just returned from a terrific week in Nassau and one of the highlights was our half day snorkel trip with Stuart Cove's Snorkel Bahamas. It was really well done and the people were terrific. The company is very professional and the equipment and boats were very nice. Our second reef stop was excellent snorkeling and the fish were...

He was EXTREMELY patient with the girls and they had a fantastic vacation (and managed to both get certified to scuba dive). While the girls were busy learning my husband and... More

The second dive on the same... More
