However, that is a story for another time. &nbsp;Let&#8217;s go with the first concept. &nbsp;Upon walking into Stuart Cove&#8217;s this morning, I was asked if I wanted to go on their shark dive. &nbsp;I am guessing that the other boat was getting a little crowded or they had voted me off for some unknown reason lol. &nbsp;For those that know me, I have never wanted to do the shark feeding dive. Again, we can go into the details later. &nbsp;I had always heard divers rave about it, but it just wasn&#8217;t my cup of tea. &nbsp;However, in the spirit of support, I said sure, let&#8217;s do it. &nbsp;I then went to convert Nicola, another dive club member, to join me. &nbsp;He agreed and we were off!<\/p>\n<p>Shark dives are just like a regular two tank morning dive. &nbsp;However, we drop anchor at Shark Arena and then, for the first dive, swam over to the Ray of Hope wreck. &nbsp;It&#8217;s a gorgeous wreck. &nbsp;Today, there were a few sharks, but the Southern Ray&#8217;s were the stand out. &nbsp;Three of them. &nbsp;Had flashbacks to Stingray City&#8230;. I digress, here are the photos and I hope you enjoy them&#8230;.&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview Operator STUART COVES Conditions WRECK Diver\/s NICOLA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5369,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[16,17],"class_list":["post-5367","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dives","tag-dive-the-bahamas","tag-stuart-coves"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/242dive.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5367","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/242dive.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/242dive.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/242dive.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/242dive.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5367"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/242dive.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5367\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5370,"href":"https:\/\/242dive.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5367\/revisions\/5370"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/242dive.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5369"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/242dive.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5367"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/242dive.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5367"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/242dive.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5367"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
