My Dives With Seasport Dive Shop
This was third year I have dived with Seasport Dive Team
I continue to return to them because of the excellent team they have assembled and the reliable and safe dive environment they drive to maintain
My dives yesterday with Chad Cole and Captain Andy were an e...
Went here to complete my advanced certification before going to Australia and it was great! The team here is awesome and we will be using them to go to niihau later this summer!
Really great dive shop. Experienced guides and instructors. Did a great tour of Sheraton Caverns with Sea Sport Divers. Loved it all!
Best dive shop on the island.
We did out PADI open water the year before with doug who was awesome and this year did our advanced open water with Joshua who was terrific as well.
Highly recommend the boat diving, just gets you out to the great sites vs swimming out..
If you need gear this place h...
My wife and I had a blast diving with Seasport! Carlos, Captain Tom, and the rest of the team were so helpful and friendly. We were a bit nervous for our first dive, but Carlos was amazing and made us feel comfortable. We're hooked!
My wife and I did a quick shore dive with Megan and it was absolutely great. Saw lots of turtles and eels and she took the time to make the trip amazing.
Truely a five star experience! From start to finish. Your Poipu shop is amazing. Lots of great clothes and equipment. The BCD's, tanks and regulators are top notch. The dive boat very comfortable and well maintained. Your biggest asset by far is your crew. Maura and Sara were great in the shop....
We went diving with them in June/July 2015. We had a great time with all 4 of our dives. We had to go to the same place each time because of water conditions, but it was beautiful each time.
The boat bathroom was gross, but no one spends much time in there anyway. The crew was always nice and looke...
Certainly don't judge the dive shop by this review alone, but I think it's important bad experiences be reported as well as good.
For usability, I'll preface with my summary, then tell my story ;-)
My experience with them was for the purpose of renting SCUBA equipment.
Their equipment rental pr...
Seasport were terrific!! Will definitely scuba with them again. Our kids did their open water cert then we did 3 more days with them. Captain Ryan and Andrew, excellent!! Masters Kahara, Derek, Zak; and Manni, lovely! Thanks. Great experience. MAHALO
I was taken from Poipu in Kauai to near Niihau Island. I met Monk Seal and many sharks.
It was a reliable guide and captain.
An understanding of briefings in English is required.
The divers who boarded the boat together were all more than 300 veteran Americans.
After reading the reviews we decided to give this place a shot to get padi certified. We were finishing lunch at a table just outside the shop when the dive shop worker said, "this spot is not for tourist like yourselves it only for locals". This left a bitter taste and justifies the responses sta...
This dive company is top notch!! From the Captain, to the crew, to all of the shop workers, everything they do is with the utmost professionalism. I am a local to Hawaii, and have been diving with a lot of sub-par dive companies. Seasport Divers is the complete opposite! I have done the dive trip ou...
Just two weeks before our trip we decided to get scuba certification. We called up these guys though they have certain training days they agreed to train us on an odd because of our time limit!
Our instructor Sam was super cool and super patient! we spent two days in learning and successfully get...
Went on the a.m. 2 Tank Boat Dive with Erica & Kalama. The crew sanitized every touchable surface before we got on the boat, between dives and at the end of the day. Absolute abundance of CovID safety precautions. Great boat and dive briefings. Captain Tom drove us straight to the clearest water...
Had an awesome time with these guys going on a first time dive experience. Definitely recommended!
First Time Diving,
Manny, the dive master was great to work with.
Thanks Manny!
Safety First. Made me go through all of the basics and made sure I could pass the steps before moving on.
He didn't give up on me when I was second guessing.
Got though the basics and was able to dive with a...
I went diving for the first time with Seasport divers. Kalama? Calamari?.... Kalamazoo was awesome and made me feel very welcome and comfortable throughout the lesson and both dives
Great dive outfit, Captain Andrew is always great value
Great dive of stone house and the caverns. Staff were professional, safe and courteous. Shout out to Manny and Chloe!
We went to Niihau which takes 2 and a half hours of a boat trip for one way and the sea was so rough that day. So be careful. They don t have any pills or other remedy for sea sickness so you should bring one for yourself.
Good, professional crew/dive masters. Boat was well-maintained and clean. Gear looked well-maintained. Safe practices were observed and they were knowledgeable regarding wildlife.
Great dive shop. Professional and friendly staff. This was my wife's first real dive and they made her feel at ease. Next time on the island we are definitely diving with them.
Friendly, professional, great equipment and spectacular dives.
Every time we interacted with the saff, it was amazing. Eveyone is extremely kind and happy to help. I'm a certified diver who hasn't been under the water in 10 years, and my husband is un-certified. We used a cove in a nearby marina to get the hang of the gear; which was great to get used to the se...
Matt and Ryan were excellent dive master and boat captain. We went on the Friday 3 tank dive and the ocean conditions were not the best but we saw several turtles, three white tip sharks, spotted eagle ray and an abundance of fish. It was the first time I heard whales sounds. It was a small group of...
Not the best if your going to rent equipment.... we drove 1hour and 20 min in the early morning to rent gear only upon arrival to be lied to about viz conditions(2 foot), and immediately offered us space on the dive boat. After we left the shop we went to the allegedly 2 foot visibility dive site ...
We had an awesome time on our dive this morning with Divemaster Liz and Captain Andrew. Everything was top-notch, from the gear, to the boat, the instruction and dive planning, to the dives themselves, we couldn't have asked for a better set of dives. We dove Icebox and Fish Bowl and were not disa...
First time diver. I did the discovery dive. Erica was awesome and did my pre dive test. Carlos was cool too, but he was with the certified divers. Capt Andy was fun and knowledgeable. Andy showed me a few tricks that really helped me make the most of my second of 2 dives. Just a heads up if you wan...
Renting equipment was reasonable for Kauai but more expensive than other dive destinations. A few of the people were really nice to work with. However there were equally quite a few "instant gratification anxious types" running the show. I am inclined to believe this shop is geared towards newbies...
I'm not sure where to begin because I had so many good experiences with this company. I had a referral class with Seasports, meaning I did my classroom and pool dives in my hometown and did my 4 open water with Koloa Seasports (Specifically Chloee). On the first day, we did two shore dives where we ...
Seasport Divers really know thier diving. Derek, Andrew and the team made our trip so memorable, safe, easy, and fun. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and experience went such a long way. On our Niihau trip we saw so much, props to Andrew for chasing down the octopus and finding monk seal...
We had a great time on the dive for non certified divers. The people at Seasport were great and the diving was amazing! Everyone was friendly, helpful, and genuinely excited to go diving. I have no complaints or critiques what so ever.
We got PADI Open Water scuba certified with Seaport Divers and they were amazing. From our knowledgeable and through instructor Zach, to the whole wonderful staff, this place is top notch. Highly recommended. Advanced Open Water certificate, next! Mahalo!
A friend and I took the Open Water PADI certification course here earlier this month. 10/10 experience all around.
We worked with Zach as our dive instructor and had an awesome time - It was a perfect balance of relaxed and chill, and any points of concern were addressed and reviewed until everyone...
While Kauai is freshly reopened for tourism, we were able to get out and dive with Cole and Doug from SeaSport Divers. We had a great and safe day on a nice spacious boat with some incredible dives. These guys are a class act. You will enjoy your diving day with them!
Really nice experience with a wonderful team: Manny (instructor), Liz (instructor) and Greg (captain). Highly recommended. And yes, turtles are almost guaranteed.
The dives were nice, the staff was friendly and accommodating, and Debbie (divemaster) was so upbeat and energetic. It was a great time diving with this company.
My husband & I are experienced divers who visited from the Big Island on two occasions. We loved the Ni'ihau day trip as well as the local Kauai 2 tank trip. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, respectful, and keen on safety. They happily incorporated whale, dolphin, manta ray, & turtle watching...
I am certified with over 35 dives in places like Bonaire, Turks and Caicos, Dominica, Cozumel, and Southern Florida. My 17 year old son did a discover scuba lesson and they did an excellent job. Dive Master Megan was an excellent instructor and guide. She made it so much fun and spent time showing...
My wife and I went on our second SCUBA diving experience here and I would recommend them to anybody. Our instructor (Noe) was amazing and tailored the dives to our experience (there were 3 of us that weren't certified, but had all dived before).
The locations we went for the two dives we went on ...
I had such a good time diving with seasport! Samantha was super chill and really informative. I was nervous about diving before but she made me feel more comfortable with the whole experience. My other instructor Cole was really supportive and kind. He made me feel safe and i really appreciate that....
Great experience with the whole family getting our open water certification. Excellent instruction, equipment and a captain who took very good care of us.
We've dove with Seasport divers twice now. Both times have been wonderful. They are very helpful, attentive to your needs, and happy fun people. I would recommend them for intro divers and certified as well.
This was my first diving experience and my instructor Shawn was awesome! Very fun and easy to understand training and he really made the experience a lot of fun. I highly recommend this diving center if you re in Kauai.
What an awesome diving experience! The captain and crew were very personable, and made sure we were able to see all sorts of cool wildlife. On the way to our dive site, we saw humpback whales, and on the way back we saw a bunch of dolphins playing near our boat. While diving, we were able to see sea...
We went as one certified 45+dive diver and one brand-new discovery diver on the non-certified afternoon boat dive. The initial lesson prior to the first "real" dive lessened the anxiety a little beforehand, although jumping in the open water was a little daunting. The new diver struggled with ear ...
Big shout out to Cole, Manny, and Andrew! Thank you guys for taking care of me! I got seasick and they were so helpful and nice. I was still able to dive and the dives were great! I ll be back to Seasport next time I m here!
Awesome dive and dive store. Super friendly crew and staff, very knowledgeable.
My wife and I have been to the Hawaiian islands 4 times now and have been scuba diving on three of the islands. All of our experiences have been good but this one with Seasport divers on Kauai was the best. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. The gear was excellent and the dive sights wer...
Guide was oblivious to anyone other than himself on the dive. Showed him I was on reserve air and he didn t care much. Got to the safety stop with zero oxygen left, took a last inhale then had to ask someone else for air. Stayed calm but wouldn t wish this experience upon anyone else as it could hav...
This was my second time diving ever (one a long time ago in the Caribbean) and the first time for my boyfriend. Doug was our instructor and he was super knowledgeable about the environment and very attentive. It worked out that we were the only people scheduled for the PM dive with him that day, and...
Great experience, really friendly and helpful crew! Great dive spots. Kalama did a great job keeping the crew together, making sure we are safe, and showing us some really cool stuff! From the fun times with the captain, to Manny and Zack, I def recommend these guys.
This was truly one of the most magical experiences of my life! Marcus was an amazing dive guide and the captain of the vessel angel of the sea was one of the most friendly and warm people you will ever deal with. All in all an amazing day!!!!
The equipment is in good shape, new BCDs with integrated weights, knowledgeable crew and over all, efficiently run operation. My only complain is that I was rushed to pick the wet-suit and ended up being too cold. In fact, I told the guy (Kent) that I normally wear medium-long or large size wet-suit...
Fun. Professional. Smart. Amazing Dives. Derek, Cole, and Andrew were great and I would highly recommend Seasport to anyone looking for a great dive on Kauai.
Had not been on a dive in ten years. Did the refresher and did two boat dives at Rock house and Sheraton caverns. Dive Masters were confident, helpful and thorough. They were on top of everything. Also great equipment.
My husband and I booked an afternoon 2-tank dive with SeaSport divers in December 2019. The guys we booked through at the shop were really friendly and great to book through. My husband and I are advanced divers but stupidly forgot our certification cards! The manager was happy to look up our very ...
The dive locations were great, but they have really unfriendly staff. From the moment I walked into the shop I felt I was an annoyance and the DMs just wanted to get done with us.
I asked for booties and the DM refused saying their fins don t fit them- but I brought my own fins which do, and I hav...
Fantastic dives... The crew is very attentive to your needs, they are very well geared and have underwater cameras in place for sale and 'I think' for rent.
I went on a morning dive with Seasport (Sam, Greg, and Andrew) on July 19 to Turtle Bluffs and the Caverns. I was very impressed with their patience, knowledge, and skill during the dive. They were very friendly and helpful during the dives. Sam was our guide for the day and she was awesome. She...
Great place to get scuba diving certified and with great team of Erica and chad. Started with Erica and moved to chad that demonstrates his passion for scuba diving and patient for students yet with lots of responsibility not to take unnecessary risks which may be fatal for scuba diving. He even spe...
We had a great dive trip to Niihau with Seasport. The crew was helpful and knowledgeable, and the boat was comfortable. The dive leaders did an exceptional job of giving our experienced certified divers freedom while guiding us to the best spots.
Did 2 days of diving with this group. 2 different sets of boat crew. I absolutely loved it, loved the time. I'm from Oahu and I enjoy it there as well, but here there's less people and I think Seasport takes advantage of that and gives you a great experience. They took the time to try and make sure ...
After reading (in MAY Undercurrent) about a few of their DM's mistreating Octopus (Matt & Luke) I am bringing my dive group to any other operator in the area. That kind of behavior from a DM is inexcusable. An the owner apparently doesn't want to address the issue.
Went on a morning dive and had a great time, despite me not being able to go on the 2nd dive due to issues equalizing my left ear. Went to "The Caverns" and saw over a dozen Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles, swam through old lava vents, and saw a wide variety of fish and biodiversity. I also saw the lar...
Rented our snorkel gear from here. In and out in less than 10 minutes with decent equipment. Definitely better than some of the other stuff you can rent in the area, well worth the extra dollar or two. Easy process as well.
Best dive company I've yet encountered! My husband and I dove off Niihau with them, three dives (Nitrox). The sites were well-selected and checked out by one of the crew prior to each dive, the pacing of the dives themselves was relaxed but not slow, transition between dives was flawlessly smooth as...
Liz was great to dive with!! We were so happy we chose to dive with Seasport Divers on our vacation! They also have a well stocked shop in case you need anything!
We had a great time diving with Captain Andrew, Jackie, Derek, and Ryan. 2 beautiful days of morning dives filled with all sorts of fish, sharks, and tons of sea turtles! The fun doesn't stop once you're back on the boat either :)
Very unpleasant experience capped off with leaving divers stranded at the dock. First of all, the instructor was very arrogant throughout the entire trip and never felt welcoming. There was a constant lack of communication between instructors and captain. None of the instructors offered help steppin...
Fantastic dive shop. Dive master Carlos Del Angel gave my wife and I excellent guidance and tips. The personal care and instruction was the best we have ever had by a dive master.
We had nice equipment and the entire crew was extremely helpful in getting rigged up and in the water as well as safely...
Cole was an awesome instructor! He made me feel confident and comfortable before the dives. These guys know the best locations to dive in Kauai!
My husband and I are both certified divers, but it had been over five years since our last dive. We decided to book with Seasport Divers, and I'm so glad we did. They offered a free refresher course when we purchased 2 afternoon dives. They were commited to providing a safe experience for everyone, ...
Diving spots were amazing. Seasport gear is old, (my mask had mold in the nose piece), not a huge deal but still unacceptable for a dive shop. When I signed up the guy I spoke with on the phone said they were including lunch , all I got was a small bag of chips and some water.
I've made 6 dives with Seasport and all of them were awesome! The crew did a great job of making everyone feel comfortable and well informed. The dive masters, boat captain, and store staff are all very professional and anxious to help. Be sure to dive the caverns and bring a light!
The salesperson (girl with the brown hair) is rude and unhelpful. She will ruin your experience. Go somewhere else to rent gear or make a purchase. It will be cheaper too!
didn't need much, but these guys had it and were super nice - no pressure
Doug is an excellent instructor, the boat captain (Andrew) has great knowledge for finding the best conditions and visibility, and my wife and I enjoyed every bit of our experience.
Service and equipment overall is good
Nice to have education clients have better not touching marine animals(leave them be there)
Don t feed human foods to fish
Great equipment, smooth check in, crew was great but Captain was very rude to his crew and other customers which made for some uncomfortable moments.
Great dive experience. They let divers come up one at a time rather than send the whole group up when the first person is out of air so you get nice long dives if you are good on your air. The tank fills are 2700 - 2900, rarely hitting 3000. Nitrox is expensive - as it is everywhere in Hawaii.The 3-...
Awesome sight- saw 3-4 turtles, 2 octopi and tons of fish. One of the really unique and awesome components was being able to swim through the collapsed lava tubes. Our Dive Master was great about pointed things out. No big complaints about the experience. However, compared to other dive companies, w...
I scored a spot on the Niihau trip, and it was beyond amazing! Captain and guides were all rock star. Many was my guide and he was great. I was a little worried when they were reviewing the basics as if it was OW dive 2 on what was clearly an advanced dive(s), but I saw why once we hit the water. Th...
This dive company is the best in Kauai. Manny and Kalama are top notch divemasters and Captain Andrew is knowledgeable and accommodating. They work really hard to get you the best dives. The whole crew is very passionate about what they do and giving you the best experience. The dive boat is ver...
Awesome dive shop less than five minutes from Koloa Landing. My husband and I hopped over to Kauai not planning to dive, we saw Koloa Landing and realized our mistake in not bringing any of our gear. We saw Seasport divers was nearby and dropped in. Right away were were greeted by friendly knowledge...
I did a bunch of research on all the dive outfits on the island and decided on Seasport Adventures. The conditions were not perfect, there were some southern swells, the captain could have just taken us to the closest spot, saved gas and called it a day, but he didn t. He went over the conditions an...
Friendly cohesive team. Made it easy to get back underwater after a few years. Doug was awesome.
Good experience, nice people work there, all professionals!! Customers from Kazakhstan
Everyone was very professional, helpful and efficient! The crew kept us safe and gave detailed instructions! Our dive master, Shawn, was fun and took us to the perfect spots!
