Comments	Stuart Cove's continues to be a safety conscious, reliable operation with well trained friendly staff, well maintained equipment, and a high volume of divers of varied abilities. They have relaxed the time limits on the dives a bit since I dove with them last year, allowing 30-45 minutes on deep dives and 45-60 minutes on shallow dives. I am not sure if this is a facility wide policy or just the 2 dive guides I dove with. The boats were in good condition and captains were competent. Both guides I dove with Jill (Danish) and a male swedish dive guide whose name I forgot went out of their way to make sure all the divers had an excellent dive experience. This is a good place to go for a diver with a nondiving partner as Stuart Coves is sure to get you back to your hotel on time and there are many other things to do on the island. My complaints are that I have become bored with the scenery in this part of the Bahamas, the shallow reefs have a lot of Algae and are overfished, (though the deeper walls were much better) and I am not all that fascinated with Sharks. For a diver who is interested in seeing sharks they are abundant here. I ended up staying at both the Radisson and the Wyndham (for free due to a Delta flight cancellation) and I liked the Wyndham better. The Cable beach hotels are in the middle of a massive rennovation/rebranding, and this resulted in the Radisson not being fully open. You wont need a rental car here. My partner has a friend who has been living in New Providence for 2 years who took us to some excellent restaurants somewhat off the beaten path: Oyster Bar in Sandyport, and Indigo on West Bay street. I would suggest completely avoiding downtown Nassau. If one is interested in Kayak Diving/Snorkeling it is possible at Love Beach.
