Just got back Sat. Jan26th. Over-all I was very satisfied using Stuart Cove's for my dives. Everyone there is super nice and great to deal with! Of course it helps that on my first visit, while picking up my rental BCD, Jessica said I had pretty green eyes!:blinking:
The BCD was in good shape and I had no problems with it. The DMs on my three days of diving, (Terri, Johanna and Soren), did a great job and I would recommend any of them. The boat captains were also helpful.
We dove David Tucker wreck and wall, James Bond, Sea Viking wreck, Will Laurie wreck, Sliding Anchor and Southwest Reef.
My favorite dive sites were Sliding Anchor on the south wall and Southwest Reef. One of the photographers came on those dives if you want to check out the pics, look for 2-tank morning dive on Jan. 24 on the web-site. Or www.finphoto.com
Stuart Cove's even has a grill going where you can buy lunch if you are staying for the afternoon dives or if you just want to get something before getting on the bus.
The only drawback is the bus ride from Paradise Island, you have to allow extra time in your day for that. Got picked up at 7:30 and usually got back around 1:30-1:45.
Harbourside at Atlantis is a pretty nice place. All are timeshare condos with fully stocked kitchens. We were advized to request a corner unit as they are a little bigger I guess. And harbor veiw if you can get it to see the boat traffic. There is a marina there where you can see some pretty nice boats. Atlantis itself has everything you could want and is almost too big. Nice beaches, water slides, pools, aquaruims, lots of restaraunts, casino.
Restaraunts I would recommend are Carmine's and Bimini Road at Atlantis, The Point Bar at Harborside, Blue Lagoon next to Harborside and just over the bridge from Paradise Island are Liciano's of Chicago and The Poop Deck, both are excellent and well worth the cab fare!
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
