Best Excursion Ever
We had an absolutely amazing time. Pick up was on time and we arrived in time to relax and prepare for our voyage. This was my first time Snuba and our guide Charles now known as King Charles was AMAZING. He walked me through all the details and even with a few hiccups I was able to enjoy the water. King Charles made sure my wife was able to get in right away when we stopped and got to swim with Reef Sharks he made it a point to call her up first and WOW what an experience. If you are in the Bahamas do yourself a favor and book this trip. Ask for King Charles as your adventure will be one you remember for a lifetime. Thank you King Charles you were the best.

Snuba and snorkeling
Thank you to the whole crew and all the staff, everyone was great! Special thanks to Charles, our snuba guide, he was fantastic! Made sure I saw all the fish and creatures! We also had a surprise stop to snorkel with reef sharks, such an amazing experience and the highlight of our trip!

Diving with sadness as an ending
I got PADI Certified in 2002 for Shark Suit Diver and My son who is 19 and got dive certified last year wanted to do the Shark Feeder Certification. Everyone at Stuart Cove is nice, but not always very helpful. The actual dives with the sharks were fantastic. But the PADI Cert and Pictures were not. We both got credit for Shark Awareness, which was kind of nothing, since I just dove and hung out with my son during the talking points and there is no certification for Shark Feeding, because there is no certification for shark feeding. I paid a lot for the certification, gave$100 tip to the photographer for the shark dives. He said we would get pictures and videos in 2-3 days. 2 weeks later, no pictures or videos. I have emailed the fin photo twice, no response. When I did my shark suit cert 24 years ago, I left with pictures and videos and was certified. Sad that such a special time, where the dive master is talking about how to stand/swim to get best shots, is never going to be shared. Very disappointed.

Didn’t get to go on boat but sweet staff
Waited over 3 hours to board our boat to go snorkeling. The weather was getting rough and we were told that they got a late start that morning as well.
We ran out of time to be back on the cruise on time. So they cancelled the entire trip and drove us back to our cruise.
Even though it felt disorganized and we had to keep asking questions. The staff was friendly and offered a refund. The drivers and frost desk ladies did their best and apologized.
We will try again in a few years

Great time better people
This experience was amazing. The people are super friendly and provide a great time and atmosphere. They are very easy to listen to and fun to be around. They are knowledgeable and very helpful with anything you need help with. Would recommend to everyone, you don’t have to be a pro to go and you don’t have to have experience to enjoy it. The only thing is they don’t provide any food so bring your own.

Highly recommend the Shark dive and snorkel!
My husband, my friend and I I did the snorkeling (second time) and my son did the shark dive. Everyone had a blast. On the snorkel boat, our crew was the best!!! Synaee, Shay, Nelson and Kareem (I think) were the nicest, most helpful crew ever. Will always hit up Stuart Cove’s when in Nassau. Thank you!!!!

It was fine. Boat staff was great. Driver to get to the shop was rude.
Was not really what I expected.

We had overall good...
We had overall good experience. Saw lots of different fish! Went to 3 different sites, which was nice, one of which was an observation of the sharks. I didn't like that we were not on a protected reef; we were snorkeling in open water with large waves. Another downside was 45+ min ride from port and boat ride 30+min to the snorkel sites. About 5 hours tour total. Was very convenient and easy pick up/drop off at cruise port.
