We did the snorkeling trip, it was amazing! The workers on the boat were awesome too! The 3rd stop, you get in the water with live sharks. It was one of the coolest things I've ever done. It's a definite must do, if in the Bahamas. Our guide is in the middle of the pic I posted, he was great!
We had such an amazing experience. The workers on the boat were very friendly & helpful. We went to 3 different sites. The first 2 for about 30minutes, the last one was the one where you got to snorkel with the sharks. That one was a less time than the first 2 sites. All in all I would say it was worth it!
Had an AMAZING time scuba diving with them. The price is reasonable and these people know what they are doing. i would definitely recommend them to anyone visiting Nassau. The problem is that they are located on the other side of downtown Nassau. They do offer a free bus that will take you there, however it is a long drive (about an hour) each way. can eat into y=most of your time if you come into on a cruise.
My first day diving wasn’t the best experience- not a good dive site, and too many people on the dive so it felt impersonal. But the next three dives were amazing, no matter how “big and I personal” if an operation they’re running. The dive instructors made sure to take my father and I to dive sites we’ve never been to, asked what we wanted to see (sharks duh!) and were attentive enough to not feel I watched but easy going enough to let us do our own thing should we choose to.
We ended up trying both this company as well as Bahama divers, and Stuart coves was by far much better. I would recommend them over Bahama divers every day of the week. Their equipment is much better cared for, more upto date, better instructors and boat captains (even crazy bus drivers!) and way better dive sites.
We were 7 people - 4 divers and 3 snorkelers scheduled for sharks! 3 of us had been before with Stuart Cove. The sharks were amazing, the feeder attentive and really brought the sharks in close - but they did not have a videographer OR photographer as they had had before. We were highly disappointed! - and our go- pro was not the same as the amazing photos we had had before! Last time there were 2 extra "masters" in protective gear to help us + the 2 camera people - this time - only the feeder - did not feel quite as protected in case something went wrong.
The snorkel boat people were wonderful! it was a rough day - we had 30 on the boat and one of our party was really seasick. The amazing assistant brought her water, 7up, towels, etc. He really tried to help. He also quickly grabbed our fins so that we got out quickly - and constantly surveyed us to make sure we were safe. Even helped my 83 year old mother on and off the boat with a strong arm! Please thank him! It was a thrill, but we were close enough to those sharks!!!
Very nice dive shop. We didn't go out on the shark adventure, but saw several sharks as we investigated three wrecks and Mike's Reef. Good equipment and a knowledgeable, safe master diver.
I love going diving I have been twice so far took my daughter snorkeling for her birthday with a few friends and I did deep sea diving for the first time. I had a friend down from New York recently and we went sub diving I had a really awesome time I enjoyed the sub diving more than deep sea diving mainly because it was easier it did not require to much swimming just operating something like a little mini scooter under water with your head stuck on a big bubble. But if your looking to explore the wonderful waters of the Bahamas that's the place to go. 😄😍
Casual and professional lead divers, thank you ladies! The equipment was new down to the mouthpiece and fins The only small issue was the the wetsuit had a sour smell to it.
Other than that the dive sites and the dives we're cool, spotted 2 sharks and 3 the second dive. They were a good 25-30 feet away and swam away when they spotted our group, a first for me. Turtles, lobsters, groupers, etc.. and most of all relaxing.
Very professional. It's a huge operation. Therefore sometimes you need to rush to get on the bus back to the hotel. The diving was excellent. Maybe of the best locations I ever dived with. Highly recommended.
My bf & I had a great experience. We did the SUB & they go over everything you need to know. The crew are very nice & personable. The divers that go underwater with you make sure you are safe. The SUB lasted about 15 minutes, but they let us snorkel afterwards as well. I was very nervous, since I can’t swim & this is my first time snorkeing & the diver instructor made sure I was safe the whole time. Definitely will come back!
I am a certified diver. It has been over 20 years since i went diving. My father was my only dive buddy, since his passing i did not want to dive without him. I made the decision to dive again, never used Stuarts Cove. They were amazing! Took refresher course (didnt need it but better safe). Steven and Gabby were the Dive Instructors they were great. The dive company i use to use was no longer in business so i tried Stuarts Cove was very happy with all aspects of their outfit! They get my recomendation!
Awesome Sub experience. Stuart Cove employees are excellent. Starting with the bus ride driver who gave us a little history of Nassau during the 45 min ride to stuart cove. I went on Thanksgiving Day and it was a good Thanksgiving to spend under the water. I believe the Captain of the ship's name was Jamie or Jesse, I can't remember, but his crew of young guys were awesome and made being so close to the fish an awesome experience.
DO NOT RECOMMEND! The only reason we went diving with them again was because it was the only dive company diving with sharks that day. We had problems with them last year (emailed and called multiple times and they never addressed our previous issues). This year someone removed my fins and wetsuit from the boat, then I had to wait 30min for them to boat them over (when the instructor said she could take the 3 students so the other instructor could lend her fins she said she wanted to go on the dive). The instructor actually didn't even ask my sister or I our names the entire day, very impersonal. Later found out I wasn't even legally allowed to go snorkelling because I didn't fill out the proper waiver or get clearance but they let me go anyway. Also, later realised when we returned from our dive they never asked us to sign back onto the roster which is also extremely dangerous and unprofessional. I come to the Bahamas every year to go diving and have over 200 dives and WILL NOT be diving with this company ever again and do not recommend it to anyone else.
Best snorkeling trip I've ever been on! We even got to snorkel above the reef sharks! Amazing!
Great place for scuba diving. They provide good orientation for beginners. The equipment was in a good shape. I had a great experience in a safe manner.
The Stuart Cove's snorkeling tour starts off the southwest end of Nassau and takes groups out to three locations. The first two were close to reefs so we saw a variety of fish. I was actually surprised that the reefs weren't very colorful. The last stop took us to a feeding area for reef sharks. We got in the water for about 15 minutes while the employees feed the sharks. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience. As a bonus, a manatee swam around the boat while it was docked.
Top notch dive center with great dives and an awesome staff. We dove with Ignacio four times; the wall and pumpkin patch, the wreck, and two shark dives. Best commercial dive master I've worked with and the whole operation was expertly handled. I highly recommend!
Went twice the same week. All staff and very involved and informative. One guy even took my go pro camera down with him with the sharks to get footage. Awesome the water is beautiful and there is alot too see underwater. Well enough time to explore and get footage. Bring a go pro to capture the sights.
Had s great time. They took us to three different site to snorkel. All were amazing. Boat staff was fun and helpful.
Went scuba diving with about 10 other people. Dive master and crew were very engaging through out. Helped up from start to finish, my wife and I felt very comfortable out with them.
We went here on our honeymoon last weekend. The location was amazing, we enjoyed the ride down the coast of the island and well worth the trip! We had 2 snorkel guides, Katie and Karim and our driver was Chris. They were very fun, attentive, and courteous!
We stopped at two beautiful reefs with many large fish and plenty more to see if you venture off a bit! Our third stop was a shark dive where you could chose to get in for a short time to view sharks from above and those who did not decide to get in still got a show while they were at the top. We cannot wait to go back again!
Sub diving was an awesome adventure for me, as someone who can not swim at all The crew was fantastic at explaining the process and easing my fears Being surrounding by so many colorful tropical fish was a once in a lifetime experience for me Thanks Javen, Andriano, and the entire crew for a great dive!
This place was awesome they picked us up from our hotel. Took us out on the sub experience which was a incredible experience after we were done they let us snorkel for 20 mins before heading back in. I took an underwater camera and one of the divers was taking pictures of us ( with my camera) and things on the ocean bottom that was too deep for us to reach. When the driver was taking us back he kept talking about a popular restaurant called Frankie's. So on the way back he stopped and let us eat while he just hung out downstairs til we were done and then took us back to our hotel. The staff they have are amazing and top notch and we're the highlight of our trip
We did the 1/2 day snorkeling trip. Overall, it was a great experience. We were picked up by shuttle from our hotel on time which was a huge asset. When you get to the dive center, you have to check-in which is a long process. Everyone in your boat has to do this before they take off and the line for check-in can be quite long. From the time we got to the dive center to the time we actually left was over and hour- there are definitely more efficient ways of handling this. The workers on the dock do not seem to be the most professional. The guys on the boat were great though. They provide fins and snorkels/masks. All 3 stops were great. We saw tons of fish, a beautiful ray, sharks, etc. The guys in the boat watch you in the water and check on you occasionally. They are happy to answer any questions you might have. I recommend getting water or drink to bring on board as the salt water can be killer and they just have tiny cups for the ice water on board. Overall, I would recommend it for the snorkeling experience. The water and reefs were beautiful.
Simply amazing and outstanding experience!! I have been diving all around the world but Bahamas with Stuart Cove was for sure one of my BEST DIVES ever!! I strongly recommend! The pink bus will pick you up / drop you by at your place! Helpful staff, very professional and interactive!
Wow!! This was an amazing experience! From the bus drivers to the dive crew everyone made our experience unforgettable, comfortable, and easy. I highly recommend this tour especially first timers as they explained everything and made us laugh the entire time. So many fish! And the sharks at the end were beautiful ! I didn't get in the water with them but I didn't need to , I could see them very clearly from the boat. DO THIS YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!!!
