Tour Summary
Stuart Cove began his dive business in 1978 with one boat. He bought the boat with money he made as a stunt/safety diver for the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only. On a good day, he took out 20 divers on a one-tank dive per day. More than 30 years later, his reputation for quality services has made his business the most sought-after dive tour off of New Providence Island.
This two-tank morning dive is for both beginning and experienced divers as long as they are SCUBA certified. There are more than 30 dive sites off the shores of New Providence Island. The first location will be at the site of one of the amazing underwater walls. Most of the walls begin at 40 feet and can reach down as far as 6,000 feet. Because of the clarity of the water, you will be able to see panoramic views of almost 200 feet. You will share the water with a variety of tropical fish, the sleek manta ray, and playful sea turtles. The coral gardens along the ocean walls are spectacular.
The waters off of New Providence Island also include a number of amazing wreck locations, including a wreck from one of the James Bond movies, the Cessna from the movie Jaws, and a 100-foot freighter. The area around New Providence Island, Bahamas is famous for underwater movie sets for feature films.
Working with the divemaster, you, along with the other divers in your small group, will determine the depth of each dive. You may choose to follow the divemaster down to 80 feet for 30 minutes. The crew determines the specific dive sites for the day based on weather conditions and client requests.
What are the requirements to participate in this dive?
This dive requires an open water certification or higher.
Can you pick us up from our cruise ship or hotel?
Complimentary pick up is provided from all hotels and cruise ship areas.
What are water conditions like?
All dives occur on the south side of the island where waters conditions are great all year round. Visibility remains clear and consistent all year round. Water tempatures change seasonally but average between 72 - 78f.
Can I use/bring my own scuba diving equipment?
Yes. Many people feel more comfortable using equipment they are familiar with and are best suited towards their body type. While we do everything to ensure our divers are using the safest, most reliable gear we do allow our divers to use their own dive gear.
Can my non-diving partner come on the dive?
Yes. While your partner will not be able to participate in the dive itself they can come along as a bubble watcher (rider) and enjoy the trip with you.
Is There a restroom on the boat?
Yes. There is a restroom or "Marine Head" for use on the boat.
What about sharks and other sea creatures?
With all the media hype it's understandable why people often ask this question but the truth is that unprovoked shark attacks are very, very rare and attacks on scuba divers are even more rare. Our staff, divers and dive masters are all trained in making sure your dive is safe and enjoyable.
How long are you underwater?
Length of time underwater for these dives completely depends on the depth of the dive. You can expect to be under water for 25-40 minutes for dives 40-60 feet and about 35-45 minutes for dives less than 40 feet deep.

I have been to the Bahamas many times, but Stuart Cove Two Tank Morning Dive is one of my favorite trips! It includes everything that everyone should do here. As a Bahamas veteran, I can say only the best about this experience!
Thanks to the professional guides! I was a bit worried about kayaking because I had never done it before, but the instructions were great and I had such a good time!
The best way to discover nature! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
