sportsterjohn Posted December 29, 2005 #2 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I did the shark trip with Stuart Cove a few years ago. They run 2 boats to the site. 1 a dive boat and the other a snorkle only boat. There are a few other dive ops that also do the shark dives / snorkles. I thought it was pretty safe, the reef sharks are generally non aggressive and pretty much ignore the people, they are only interested in the food ball however I wouldn't sit there with a handful of chum in my hand eithor!!

isabellmybell Posted December 29, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Thanks John, was it worth the money? There is a company called dive dive dive, anyone know anything about it?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce-r Posted December 29, 2005 #4 Share Posted December 29, 2005 AFAIK, Coco Cay is a RCI "private island" spot, so the only choice there is to use the on-site dive operation. I'd let them do the shark feeding dive. It will be a highlight of their trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsterjohn Posted December 29, 2005 #5 Share Posted December 29, 2005 The shark feed is a total blast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isabellmybell Posted December 29, 2005 Author #6 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Hi guys, Thanks for the info, should I book ahead of time or just wait till we get there? Do you have any idea of about how much it is? Do I book with the ship line or with someone on the island. Thanks a bunch we are very new to this all, this is only our 2nd cruise, but we loved the first so much we plan on making it our life time hobby:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isabellmybell Posted January 1, 2006 Author #8 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Happy New Year, ok so Tigger says book with Stuart, are they good, expensive, worth it? Could I snorkle or just watch while the kids dive with the sharks? I need more info please!!! Just 29 days to go:eek: And I can hardly wait!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isabellmybell Posted January 5, 2006 Author #9 Share Posted January 5, 2006 :eek: So is this my only option?? There must be more than one. Does everyone go with them, would be a little crowded! When we were on our last cruise we went with independent people and got super service. Anyone out there know of a private vendor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce-r Posted January 5, 2006 #10 Share Posted January 5, 2006 :eek: So is this my only option?? Which "this" are you referring to? If it is about diving at Coco Cay, then the answer is yes. You will only be able to dive with the ship's operator as they are the only choice on the RCI "private" island. There must be more than one. Does everyone go with them, would be a little crowded! No, there are other dive operators, but I would think that a recommendation and a link to the dive operator would be a reason to direct your next question to Stuart Cove as to the number of divers on a shark feeding trip, price, and other arrangements.

I wish I could provide you with a personal recommendation for the shark feeding dive, but, alas, that is still on my "to do" list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
