Stuart Cove’s - Nassau is a boat accessible salt water dive site, located in Nassau, Bahamas. This dive site has an average rating of 4.50 out of 5 from 26 scuba divers. This dive site provides bathrooms and airfills.

Stuart Cove’s Dive Bahamas is Nassau’s leading full service dive resort. 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.

The feature activities at Stuart Cove’s for our divers is our "Extreme Shark Adventure". The Shark Adventure program is a 2-tank dive trip that takes divers on an underwater encounter with Caribbean Reef Sharks. On the first dive divers participate in a "free swim" with the sharks along a beautiful wall. On the second dive, the group forms up in a semi-circle on the 50-foot bottom and watch while a professional shark feeder enters the water with a box of bait. Upon reaching the bottom, the feeder begins feeding the sharks with the aid of a pole spear. To say the sharks come close to the divers is an understatement - they are everywhere!

However, Stuart Cove’s is not exclusively about diving. It’s about sharing the underwater world with as many people as possible.

The drive from the Cruise Ship doc to the facility was interesting. The crew was great. The DM and her assistant DM in training were great. No problems at all. The drive back was equally interesting. Almost got hit by a cement truck while backing from the parking lot. The doors on the bus didn’t work. Great diving!

The staff was fantastic. I did 2 days with them. The shark adventure was awesome and worth the cost.
