Just returned from a 5-day family vacation to Paradise Island. Stayed at the Comfort Suites next to the Atlantis. Did 3 dives with Bahama Divers. Very satisfied. The morning 2-tank shallow trip took us to Trinity Caves (40') and Lighthouse Reef (20-25'). 2 divers, 8 snorkelers. Stayed underwater for 40 minutes on each dive. Not much marine life - some lionfish! Many sting rays.The next afternoon went to Cannonball Reef off Rose Island. 12 divers, 6 snorkelers. Maximum depth 25. No rush. Me and my buddy were first in the water and did 55 minutes! Terrific conditions. Better than the other 2. More marine life, beautiful reef. I had fun doing LONG shallow dives. Staff was terrific. Since their boats are older, the tanks are stored in the middle of the boat. When you arrive you attach your regulator and BC to a tank in the storage area. When you get to the dive site, you sit on the edge of the boat and they bring your rig to you. After gearing up, they help you stand up and you do a giant stride entry. At the end of the dive you take off your rig in the water (good skills review), and they take it from you and rig to another tank for the 2nd dive. I heard many good things about Stuart Cove's operation, but did not want to spend an hour each way in traffic from Paradise Island. I would recommend Bahama Divers to people staying on PI or nearby, unless you want to see more / feed sharks.
