Great photos. I just got back from Nassau and dove with Stuart Cove’s on Tuesday morning for two dives. First dive was a beautiful wall with quite a few sharks, but surprisingly not many fish. Second dive was the Two Sisters wrecks, with many schools of fish on the decks, and lots of wreck to penetrate. The Bahamas are beautiful to dive. 86 degree water with 100+ viz. However, I cancelled my Thursday morning dives because of the Stuart Cove’s "cattle car" operation and limited bottom time. I had read on other reviews that their dives were limited to 45 minutes of bottom time. When I heard the DM on the first dive say we need to be back in 30 minutes my jaw just about dropped. And no diving on our own either. We had to follow the DM on a tour with 20 other divers in a giant pack. We were told this was to insure a longer bottom time at our second dive site, which was not limited. But with a wreck at 85’ depth that dive ended up around 45 minutes anyway. I paid $110 for two dives, and my first dive I came up with over 1,200 psi. There were four beautiful sharks cruising right under the boat, yet I was waved up the anchor line. Bummer. But it was beautiful. Maybe next time I will try my luck with Bahamas Divers?
