Summary
In the world of shark diving, Stuart Cove’s in the Bahamas is one of the OG’S. In the Bahamas, shark attacks are generally a case of mistaken identity. Shark attacks rarely occur involving scuba divers as they are most common at the surface.
I’m no stranger to shark diving at this point. I’ve been lucky to swim alongside whale sharks in Thailand, Philippines, Mexico, Honduras, and Panama. And now, it was time to add some caribbean sharks and potentially even tiger sharks.
It’s worth showing up a bit early to your dive. Stuart Cove is an iconic PADI Five Star Dive Center. They are pioneers in the industry of recreational shark diving. At $184.84, it’S a standard price for a two tank dive in a high-end Caribbean destination.
We had an epic Bahamian dive master, John, who also turned out to be a huge world traveler. As in most most of the world, our dive sites were chosen based on conditions, and I was super happy with where we ended up. The first dive was a classic Caribbean reef with a dash of Hollywood glamour.
This week's episode of The Daily Discussion features a look at the history of the show. This week’s episode of the Daily Discussion is about the history and culture of the U.S. and the world at large. This is the first time we’ve featured the show’’S ‘The Daily Discussion’
Shark Adventure + Speciality Course includes a PADI Shark Awareness Diver Distinctive Specialty. At $324USD per person, it’s a slight price increase over Shark Adventure, but I thought it was worth the extra $82 to make it a more comprehensive experience.
Stuart Cove’s Shark Feeder Program is a cool $3,180. The in-water portion of the course is the Shark Adventure dives. The one day Shark Shooter Program is $2,550 and is a deep dive (tee hee)
Divers were placed in a semi-circle at the sandy bottom around 12 meters deep. A few curious nurse sharks circled below, but soon eased into this magnificent wall dive. Once the feeder was settled in the middle of the circle, he began feeding the six feet Caribbean reef sharks.
At $165 it was a little steeper than I expected, though if you are with a friend or group you can always split that. I was glad I both brought my own camera and did the package. While the quality of photos was low, it was worth it to be in some shots.
In the summer, you can get away with no wetsuit. In the winter, you have to wear a full-body suit. The best way to keep warm is to drink lots of water. The most comfortable way to stay warm is with a blanket. The worst way is to wear shorts.
