We're planning a trip to Nassau in March and have seen reports on Stuart Cove and some others. Are all these dive shops "cattle boats," or are there some small operators?
Thanks,

uwhooligan:Couple of weeks ago I had to be in Nassau on business so I took my gear and was able to book a spot on the DiveDiveDive boat for a couple mornings out of Coral Harbour (they got 1-800 number from their web sight www.divedivedive.com ) . We only had 6 divers first day and 5 the next and I buddied off with the DM that day. The boat is easily big enuff to hold 10 but they said was a bit of slow time. Covered five shipwrecks of various stature in 4 dives. Nothing crazy, they like to call it 'tourist diving' but once led the basic route we had fair amount of leeway at each wreck, saw some pretty fish etc on the wall and caught site of a reef shark too. They help you with your gear off and on the boat, in fact they insist on that point. We had all guys from northern USA states, and myself (a Canuck), and the Captain n DM so was fairly informal on the boat language wise . The captain Tony has a well rounded local knowldge of the islands so was worth tapping his head for info. While at depth on the Caribe Breeze i looked up to see a herd of snorklers about 50 feet above me and they were from Stuart Cove but they didnt get quite as deep as we did ... at the time I reckoned they looked more like seals than we did ... Anyways over all i had great time doing some cool dives in a manner typical of the bahamas, ie laid back
