Dive Expedition in the Bahamas
Stuart Cove, Liz Parkinson and David Benz set off aboard aboard a 65-foot Hatteras on an expedition to uncover new dive sites and extended itineraries beyond the reef, wrecks, walls, sharks, and underwater Hollywood dive sites that are in Stuart Cove’s extensive local playground off New Providence Island (Nassau). The team ventured out to the Abacos and went diving on sites like the Orange Bowl, Danger Reef, Andros Blue Hole and Autec Buoy in 3,400 feet of water. They also dived the newest wreck in Stuart Cove’s fleet of wrecks, the Sea Trader. Here is a sampling of what they found.
