Stuart
Cove's Dive Bahamas is Nassau's leading full service dive resort. Stuart
and Michelle Cove, high profile figures in the dive community, are two
of the most personable and genuine people you will ever meet.
Stuart frequently is on the docks to meet
divers when the boats return. Michelle, who has been featured as model
and stunt extra in numerous productions, often helps coordinate the dive
boats and is actively involved in making sure everyone has a great time
when they visit the operation.
Originally opened in 1978, the operation
has grown to a fleet of seven dive vessels, with five of the boats over
40 feet in length. Located on the southwest side of New Providence
Island, Stuart Cove's is in the ideal physical location to take
advantage of the diverse underwater geological formations. As such, dive
sites are available for divers with no experience all the way up to
expert-level dives including four new shipwrecks we have helped place in
the last two years.
A
wide spectrum of diving activities is available. Holiday travelers who
have never gone diving before will enjoy the 3-hour "Learn To Dive
Program".
In this program guests will be introduced
to the equipment used in the sport of diving in a swimming pool, receive
an introduction into the basics of diving theory, and then complete
their first ocean dive.
All of this is done under the supervision
of a professional dive instructor who is working exclusively with a
small group of guests.
Experienced divers can participate in up
to 5 dives a day. Two dives are offered in the morning, with two
additional dives in the afternoon. An optional night dive is available
on selected evenings as well. Dive sites encompass steep vertical walls
that plummet to 6,000 feet of depth, shallow tropical reefs, 13
different locations containing ship or airplane wrecks, and numerous
locations that were used as underwater movie sets for feature films.
