Scuba instructor Stuart Cove, owner of Nassau Bahamas Aqua Adventures, is somewhat of a local star. Aside from multiple cameos in big-budget Hollywood films himself, Cove lays claim to teaching a number of high-profile actors—including James Bond himself, Sean Connery—how to dive. The role Connery needed lessons for? The 1983 Thunderball remake, Never Say Never Again. Read more about Cove’s business on the New York Times. Schedule a lesson here.
