Over the top experience and a little scary, too!

Reviewed by: jblomme, 2022/03/12

John was our scuba expert and my two daughters and I were novices so we went through an orientation and practice dive with him. We enjoyed our boat ride to the sites and our Captain was a great guide and helped us get views of sea turtles, whales and dolphins. He also explained the coastline and made sure we got good photos! The first dive we were more focused on our breathing but still managed to see a lot of incredible fish! On the second dive we were more relaxed and able to focus on our beautiful surroundings . The sea turtles were so close we could have touched them (illegal though!) . I felt like I was part of Finding Nemo with all the fabulous fish we saw! We saw a starfish, trumpetfish, reef triggerfish, pennant butterfly fish, white spotted toby, yellow stripe goatfish, etc. It was wonderful to be in such a surreal environment . I’ve had scuba diving on my bucket list for around 40 years- We did it. I will never forget this adventure, John and the Crew from Seasport Divers that it all happen!

  • Enjoying the views, whales, sea turtles and dolphins with our Captain

  • Feeling incredibly lucky for our wonderful scuba experience

My wife was reluctant to try scuba. These guys taught us we'll and quickly. They made it all so easy. They took great care of us and really made sure we enjoyed our time. We loved every minute and didn't want it to end!

The water was choppy when we went out, and I am usually not prone to motion sickness, but I did feel sick in the boat (but not underwater!). I'd recommend some good motion sickness medicine for the boat ride.

Fantastic dives

Reviewed by: Jamie, 2013/05/16

I dove with Tim and Andrew on an absolutely perfect day. We did two drift dives, one at Turtle Bluffs where the visibility was easily over 100 feet, and the second at Amber's Arches.

Saw several huge turtles, a few reef sharks hiding below the bluffs, and an amazingly beautiful Spanish Dancer as we were swimming "upstream" underneath Amber's Arch! Great crew, top-shape boat & shop and brand new equipment made for unforgettable dives.

This is definitely one of the top operations I have ever dove with and I fully recommend diving with them if you are on Kauai. During the summer you can also dive off of Niihau for what I heard were some of the best dives ever.

An amazing experience

Reviewed by: Drew Climer, 2013/02/01

My GF and I are getting certified and we took my mother with us for a discover SCUBA dive. Jackie was so patient and really took great care of my mother so my Fiancee and I could have a great time. When we went on the dive with the certified crew, we really felt apart. We will be going back in a number of years to dive with this crew again.

Had a fantastic time and as a first timer the instruction and easing into things was very well done....time and patience and a heck of a lot of fun. After all is said and done it makes you wish for certification so you can do it again and again...so watch out it could be addictive !!!! Thanks to everyone at Seasport Divers for a chance of a lifetime to experience scube diving for the first time.

We are both certified divers with a little less than year of experience. So we know what we were doing but appreciates the older diver's guidance. The Seasport Divers staff made the whole diving experience a lot better than expected. The Kauai has a lot of untouched reefs compared to Oahu, so we got to see some marine animals unique to Hawai'i. There was a huge eel which came out of nowhere, and we were hanging out with him (her?) for a while. Thanks a lot for a good time. We'll come back next year!

Incredible staff- Brownie was fantastic as well as all of the others. Helpful, knowledgeable, and fun to spend a day with. Instuctions are clear and concise, not much to worry about. All of the divers were thrilled and excited as they boarded the boat. I would recommend this company for all of your Kauai Diving!

A trip down under

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2007/09/05

The scuba diving was fun. I'd recommend for first timers to minimize their trip to just the single tank dive, so they can decide if it is really something they would like. It does get tiring fairly quickly, so a single trip, while it may seem short, is more than enough for the first time. I'd recommend also going straight to the Sheraton reef where you are GUARANTEED to see at least a few sea turtles and get some great pictures. It takes a while to acclimate to the undersea pressure, so if you have the slightest hint of a cold don't go! Seriously, your ears will thank you! I had a headache and trouble hearing for days after my dive. Small price to pay for what I got to see, but you might take some extra vitamins the few days up to your dive, just in case.
