Located near Nassau on the island of New Providence, the staff at Stuart Cove’s have long been known for their shark expertise. This year marks the 10th straight year they have been involved with the Discovery Channel’s Shark Week series. Earlier in the year they worked with Discovery to film the "MythBusters - Jaws Special," which tests common shark myths, such as punching a shark in the nose to make it go away. They have also worked on numerous movies, including the 2003 release AFTER THE SUNSET, starring Woody Harrelson, Pierce Brosnan, and Salma Hayek, and their first movie, the 1980’s James Bond flick, FOR YOUR EYES ONLY.
The Great Bahamas Shark Shootout package starts at $1,518 per person, double occupancy and includes round-trip airport transfers; seven nights accommodation at the beachfront Wyndham Nassau Resort and Casino; two days of shark diving on a private boat hosted by Claudia Pellarini, Stuart Cove’s resident photo pro at Fin Photo; four days of shark diving on a private boat with Stephen Frink; welcome breakfast at Stuart Cove’s; farewell dinner at the Marketplace Restaurant located in the mythical setting of Atlantis resort; Stuart Cove's shark awareness specialty certification; event T-shirt and goody bag; and personal photography coaching by Stephen Frink and the staff of Fin Photo.

Free swim with the sharks on your first dive then kneel on the sandy ocean bottom as a professional feeds the sharks on your second dive. During this eye-popping, heart-thumping experience the sharks come very close - you may even feel a fin tap your shoulder as a shark glides by - but don’t worry, they only come for the bait.
