Stuart Cove’s dive support team and the contenders in the recent bid for new industry scuba dive record and for the Guinness World Record relaxed after three gruelling days at Sandyport Beaches Resort and Hotel. L – R: Vernon Moss General Manager, Mark McCrum dive coach, Mubarak Abuhaimad scuba dive record contender, Stuart Cove, Ms. Ream Aleidan scuba dive record contender, Team Leader Alharith Alateequi.
Award-winning Sandyport Beaches Resort and Hotel was the hospitality sponsor for the recent Multiple World Guinness Records Dive attempts at Stuart Cove’s Dive Centre in Nassau. The Sandyport Beaches Resort supplied the accommodations and the much needed post event environment where the two-member Team Reem, and their support crew, could relax and unwind after their Scuba dive-record attempts.
Mr. Mubarak Abuhaimad and Ms. Reem Aleidan from Kuwait each set individual, Scuba-industry records - Ms. Reem Aleidan set the Longest Underwater Dive with Sharks by a Woman and Mr. Mubarak Abuhaimad set Longest Underwater Scuba Dive for a Man, but their attempt at the World Guinness Record for Longest Scuba Dive, proved elusive. The divers have vowed to return in September to try again.
“We will be back at Sandyport Beaches Resort in September. We really like it here, it’s beautiful and wonderfully quiet, and I liked having an ensuite kitchen,” said Ms. Reem. “We arrived exhausted after our many days trying for the Scuba records, and this was just what we needed!”
Vernon Moss, General Manager said Sandyport Beaches Resort was happy to sponsor the rooms and suites for the visiting four-member team. “They arrived worn-out after three gruelling days with very little sleep. On their second night we had a fun beach BBQ for them and the Stuart Cove’s support crew; it was just what they needed to debrief and chill Bahamian-style.”
Just recently, on February 29th, Director General of Tourism, Mrs. Joy Jibrilu, presented Sandyport Beaches Resort and Hotel with the RCI Gold Crown Award, a hotel industry top honour based partly on happy guests’ positive comments and reviews. The presentation coincided with another top achievement – the influential TripAdvisor site is consistently rating Sandyport Beaches Resort in the top three of 35 listed Nassau hotels. Sandyport Beaches Resort already holds their prestigious Certificate of Excellence which recognizes establishments that consistently earn great TripAdvisor reviews from travellers.
