Today I am going to talk about a short dive trip I took back in 2007. The flights were through Funjet vacations and the price was very reasonable for the 4 day trip. We stayed at Breezes Bahamas for 4 days on a last minute trip. The resort was nice but could use updating and the food could have been better. It is an all-inclusive resort with plenty to do. This resort is in the super club category meaning they have every activity you would want to do and some you would not want to do. They even had a trapeze that you could go on. With that being said I was not impressed with all the activities and seemed to be to much. I did enjoy some great games of beach volleyball and met some great people while we were there. Please do your research on Tripadvisor for all your vacations it is a very useful tool and just remember some people just complain about everything. I am not that picky but I do expect a clean room and decent food.

Now on to the part of the trip that made everything worth while the diving. Stuart Cove was the dive operation we used and they were excellent and very professional. There is a dive on a wreck that is in the movie Into the Blue we went on and was not much to see but the flat wreck and sharks. We saw reef sharks every dive and the most exciding the shark adventure dive Stuart Cove has available. The dive is in about 40 feet of water and they take you down and put all the divers on the bottom in a circle and bring in a box of fish heads and start feeding the sharks in front of you and the next thing you know there is around 30 to 40 sharks around you. Below is a video of the shark adventure.
This is not me on the dive but it is the same dive and was worth the trip. After the dive they let you look for shark teeth on the bottom and most divers were able to bring home 1 or 2 shark teeth. If you want to dive with sharks then put Stuart Cove Bahamas on your bucket list.
As for the island it self I found it not to be on my top list but it is a very nice vacation and there is plenty to do. I was not able to go to Atlantis Paradise Island Resort. I have heard it is very nice but on the pricey side.
Thank you for reading my posts and please fell free to ask any questions

ReplyDeleteIts not for everyone, I would go back in a minute.
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to visit the Bahamas! It looks like it would be so much fun. I love the beach and the sun. I do not take many vacations, but my next one I will check Trip Advisor. Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteI always check Trip Advisor! I love that site, it is really helpful because you can see actual traveler photos. I also have wanted to visit Atlantis but haven't got the chance.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to the Bahamas or on a shark dive. It is on my bucket list! I have not been on many trips, but good to know Trip Advisor is great tool. Next time I am planning a trip I will use it to my full advantage. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI went to the Bahamas in December 2014 and I absolutely loved it! I have not been on a shark dive though! It sounds very exciting. I will definitely be using Trip Advisor for my next vacation!
ReplyDeleteThis was really helpful! My fiance and I are planning a honeymoon for this year and Bahamas was one of our possible destinations. Thanks for sharing.
