It's No Myth - Stuart Cove's is THE Place Discovery Channel Chooses for Shark Seek

2005 Represents the 10th straight year that Stuart Cove's staff and facilities have been involved in the popular SHARK WEEK promotion on the Discovery Channel.


Jamie Hyneman, Stuart Cove, and Adam Savage

Next week, the annual Discovery Channel SHARK WEEK kicks off with yet another production that involves Stuart Cove's Dive Bahamas . Sunday evening July 17 at 9 pm EST, the Mythbusters JAWS Special premieres. Filmed on location earlier this year, the Mythbusters program features co-hosts Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage taking on common "shark myths."

Stuart and his team are very familiar with Discovery Channel, having worked in previous years on nearly a dozen SHARK WEEK projects and documentaries. The warm waters and ample shark population enhances the environment allowing producers to get the shots they need - every time. In the past, Stuart has worked with well-known figures including Nigel Marvin, Heidi Klum, Gabrielle Reece, Estella Warren, Brian McNight, Adrian Pasdar, and Casper Van Dien on SHARK WEEK programming.

The "Mythbusters" program will provide an entertaining and informative  2-hour  program that includes the crew testing different "myths."

Jamie and Adam outfitted "Buster" the show's "Crash Test Dummy" to test the common myth that punching a shark in the nose will make it go away. Did the test prove the "myth"? We're not saying, but we can tell you that the dummy eventually lost his "arm".

Jamie Hyneman prepares "Buster" for his first shark encounter.

Heard about "yum yum yellow" and that sharks have a color preference. The Mythbusters took this myth head on in another informative (and humorous) experiment.  Large nylon bags filled with bait of various colors were suspend from surface buoys to test color preferences. Want to know what happened? You'll just have to watch the program to find out.
