A really unique way to explore marine life in Nassau that's somewhere between snorkeling, scuba diving and riding a moped. Several people on the experience were intimidated by equalizing underwater and perhaps it's not the best experience for people who suffer from claustrophobia. However, you can still take advantage of the great snorkeling while others are on the sub, you actually are able to see a greater variety of fish just exploring around the boat. Stuart Cove's is a professional operation with a great staff pretty much guaranteeing an excellent experience.

The people are very friendly the weather was kind of poor so very windy and choppy so rough boat ride out there but we made the best of it all around it was good but I do not recommend if the weather is choppy and you get sea sick because you will get sick

I will never book with Viator again. My girlfriends and I were really looking forward to the SUB excursion. The time listed to depart was 9:30 but when we got to the assigned place we found out the bus had left at 9:00. Upon closer inspection we found 3 times listed in our paperwork. Heads up to everyone booking with them to carefully read the papers.

I did not enjoy this excursion. It took way too much time to even arrive at Stuart Cove's via bus, then another long period of time on a smaller boat just to get to the spot where the actual sub dive took place. This corresponded to almost 3 hours travel time there and back. In addition, the diver misguided my husband in entering the helmut and he ended up hitting his head and obtaining a gash which bled profusely. There were too many people and not enough subs, which meant one group had to wait 30 minutes while the other went. All in all, I was very disappointed and would not recommend this excursion

Very unique experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The water was gorgeous, visibility was amazing and the color was almost therapeutic. There were fish everywhere, we saw sea turtles and stingrays. Amazing experience! My only regret was that I didn't bring my 4 kids because they would have loved it.

Our family of 4 went on this excursion. The staff were professional and courteous. It was neat to see the fish, coral, and other sea life all around you, without needing to worry about swimming or holding your breath. The time underwater is not super long, but is long enough to feel like you see a lot (maybe 45 minutes? I did not time it, so I am not sure). They offered to let us snorkel afterwards, but since it was November, everyone on our tour but one person was too cold to go out in the water again. We had a few small issues that resulted in rating the excursion 3 stars instead of 4. First, there was a glob of yellow paint in my husband's SUB bubble right where he was wearing the GoPro camera. A pretty minor thing, but it is irritating to have a thousand unusable pictures because of a splotch. We also found it a bit irritating how long we had to wait for the shuttle back to the cruise pier after our tour was finished. We felt that they were really trying hard to get us to purchase overpriced burgers and gift shop items. The most concerning issue was with my 12 year old son's SUB unit - near the end of the tour, the water level in his bubble started to rise so that he had to push his head higher to be comfortably in the air bubble. As soon as the staff realized, they took him up and out of the water right away, but we found ourselves wondering if they would have noticed the problem, without him drawing their attention to it, if it had happened earlier in the tour. Overall a good tour, just be sure to pay attention to return times to the pier, and let the diver guides know if you are concerned about safety or have any trouble.

My daughter and I had a great time on the sub adventure. Suggest the bus driver could give a little info about the island, the neighborhoods, etc. on the long drive to Stuart's Cove. Also, could put in your info that food is available for purchase....info we received said only water is provided, so we tried to bring a lunch from the ship. I really appreciated that you had a couple of divers in the water with us to keep us going the right direction. I thought the subs were so cool and enjoyed the experience very much. Everyone was helpful in every way...instructions, and safety. I needed a little help when the ocean waves were too much for me to snorkel, and someone was right there to get me back to the boat.

Overall it was cool, however i wish the site they took you too had a reef and more fish. The SUB's need more power too, just could not move around to much. but the concept is cool nothing like it in Florida where I live.

The excursion itself was awesome. It was cool to be in the little subs underwater, and the staff were soo friendly. The only thing that was a little sketchy was the bus ride over. You better be ON TIME or early, or they will leave you. I am glad we arrived early because if we had been one minute late, they would have left us and we would have been out of a couple hundred bucks! The van is pink.
