Stuart Cove sinks 2 shipwrecks in 2 weeks Nassau, Bahamas - On Tuesday, August 20th, the Captain Fox, an 80-foot fishing trawler came to rest in 40 feet of water forming the third trunk of Nassau's newest dive site The Steel Forest. The Captain Fox joined the Manana and Fenwick Stirrup on a sand bottom that starts at 30 feet and slopes to 120 feet where it drops over the edge of the Tongue-of-the-Ocean wall. ''Captain Fox'' The sinking of the Captain Fox marked the culmination of an ambitious undertaking where Stuart Cove and the team from Dive Bahamas sunk two new shipwrecks in a 2-week period. "It was a mighty undertaking, but we're very pleased with the results," said Cove. ''I love our new site - The Steel Forest. We envisioned creating a site that would allow experienced divers to start off deep and do a multi-level profile, while at the same time allowing less experienced divers to still enjoy some new wrecks without having to worry about deeper depths" according to Cove. Well-known for his shark diving experiences, Cove now brings the same innovations to wreck diving. He explained that there are now a trio of wrecks roughly 50 feet apart, lined up from bow to stern. The first is in just 40 feet of water, while the stern of the third is in 110 feet of water. The ''Manana'' Cove works closely with the Bahamian government to secure the wrecks. ''Over the years we have learned each other's needs. Ours is obviously to promote tourism and adding new wrecks does that,'' Cove said. ''Other ministries of the government are involved with salvage and confiscated vessels. It was a natural marriage. Our company invests $10,000 to $20,000 per wreck to salvage it and prepare it for relocation and sinking as a dive site. The government donates the tugs and title to the vessels. It's a win-win, private sector - public sector relationship." The idea for the trio of wrecks that will form an underwater forest of diving opportunity was first discussed earlier this summer. With the help of officials representing the government and the diving industry, Cove and his team accepted the challenge. There are now 15 different wrecks that divers can visit while diving with Stuart Cove's Dive Bahamas. Fall is a great time to travel and Stuart Cove's is offering some great packages.
