A highlight of your vacation to Staniel Cay Villas will be swimming with the sharks at Compass Cay! But is it safe? Nurse sharks are bottom-dwelling sharks that live in warm, shallow waters of the Bahamas and are pretty friendly, laid-back and mostly harmless. The Nurse sharks that live near marinas are fed by local fisherman and have grown accustomed to the presence of humans. The Bahamas are a premier destination for swimmers and snorkelers to swim with sharks and Staniel Cay is very close to Compass Cay making it an easy and enjoyable daytime adventure. Charter our private boat with captain or join a tour with your friends at Staniel Cay Adventures!
