    Nassau Shark Adventure 5 hours

    Experience the adrenaline rush of diving with sharks.

    Stuart Cove's Shark Adventure is a 2-tank dive program which introduces thrill seeking divers to wild sharks and provides you a close up look at these magnificent and misunderstood creatures in the stunning waters of the Bahamas!

    There are currently four sites where you can dive with the sharks. You will dive either the combination of 'Shark Wall' and 'The Arena' or the combination of 'Shark Wall North' and 'The Runway'. At either location you will encounter a gathering of Caribbean Reef Sharks on a consistent basis.

    Your first dive is a 'Free Swim' with the sharks on a magnificent wall. The sharks will follow you throughout the dive because we are close to our feeding site and they know the dinner time is soon. However, no bait is exposed on this dive. This keeps the sharks curious and creates a very natural encounter for divers - just as you would encounter a shark in the wild.

    Your second dive is a shark-feeding dive. Unlike ordinary dives - you will spend this dive kneeling on the sand bottom. Divers form a semi-circle in front of our professional shark feeder who will place a bait box on the bottom. Your feeder utilizes the bait box and a pole spear to control the release of food that influences the shark's behavior. While novice shark divers may not notice it - during the shark feeding dives your feeder tries to keep the sharks in a 'polite' feeding posture. However be warned - the sharks will come very close, but they are more interested in the bait instead of you!

    Participant Requirements:

    • Must be at least 10 years of age
    • Must be a certified diver (must bring certification card at time of check-in)
    • Must have good physical health
    • Divers who have not logged a dive within the last 3 years will be required to complete a refresher program prior to joining any scheduled dives
    • Each participant is required to wear a full wetsuit or skin (long sleeves and long legs)
