Video shot while on Stuart Cove's Shark Adventure in Nassau, Bahamas. Video shot entirely on a GoPro Hero HD video camera by Jimmy Strater.

The first dive is a "Free Swim" with the sharks on a wall. The sharks will follow you throughout the dive because we are close to our feeding site and they know the dinner bell will ring soon. However, no bait is exposed on this dive. This keeps the sharks curious and creates a very natural encounter for divers - just as you would encounter a shark in the wild.

Your second dive is a shark feeding dive. Unlike ordinary dives - you will spend this dive kneeling on the sand bottom. Divers form a semi-circle in front of our professional shark feeder who will place a bait box. Your feeder utilizes this bait box and a pole spear to control the release of food which influences the sharks behavior. While novice shark divers may not notice it - during the shark feeding dives, your feeder tries to keep the sharks in a "polite" feeding posture. However be warned - the sharks will come close - very close - but they are more interested in the bait than you.

  • the reason why thats a hard question. At the rate we are killing them in fishnets and over fishing. in my opinion there not gonna be around long enough for us to cherrish them.Its a once and a lifetime oppurtunnity to see them in there habitat.i dove at stuartscove on there boat the phocenia and it was great i went with my father at the age of 18. iwill never forget the time we had there.and how they are not the mindless eating machines that everybody thinks they are,
