Tour Summary
If you are seeking to explore the beautiful panoramic depths of the Caribbean but do not have your SCUBA certification? Now this is possible! You and your entire group can actually go scuba diving 20, 30, or 40 feet under the surface of the water without having to get your scuba certification! Our Learn to Dive Resort Course is a brief and simple method to learn all necessary dive techniques that will allow you to dive at a location on the extensive coral reef system that surrounds the islands of the Bahamas.
Your course will begin with a short lecture on the basics of diving given by one of our PADI certified diving instructors. You will learn all the necessary information on diving, the ocean, and breathing techniques. After the brief instruction, you will be able to try out your scuba gear for yourself. We usually go to a pool in one of the local resorts but sometimes we also head out to the beach. The divemaster on hand will guide you through the process of properly and effectively using your diving gear.
After you become fully familiarized and comfortable with your gear, you get to come onto the dive boat and go on an actual dive into the beautiful coral reef located just a few miles from Nassau! Your instructor will be on hand with you the entire time to make sure you are safe as you swim on top of one of the most unique and diverse underwater ecosystems in the whole world. You will be amazed as you swim past hundreds of multi colored exotic fish and all kinds of other marine animals such as sea turtles or sting rays.

I have been to the Bahamas many times, but Stuart Cove Learn to Dive Resort Course is one of my favorite trips! It includes everything that everyone should do here. As a Bahamas veteran, I can say only the best about this experience!
Thanks to the professional guides! I was a bit worried about kayaking because I had never done it before, but the instructions were great and I had such a good time!
The best way to discover nature! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
