Seasport Divers - Boat - Scuba Diving Near Me - Koloa, Hawaii

This was my third outing with them over roughly 20 years and it was every bit as good as previous times. Actually this time it was better as I had my 22 year old son with me on this one. Debbie, our guide, had more enthusiasm and knowledge than anyone I recall diving with in years. Rental gear was in great shape and our Captain used the time in between the two dives to find a couple local whales. It was a great day and will definitely be back a 4th time some day. read more

If you are not careful you can wind up wasting your money. You will be required to complete an online medical questionnaire to participate in the "discover diving" activity. You might get a link to the questionnaire the day before your activity. If your answer is "yes" to any of the questions (including being over the age of 45) then you're not allowed to participate until you get a physical exam that clears you. There are lots of things that would disqualify a large portion of the population. Didn't discover a disqualification until after the 24 hr cancellation deadline? Too bad, no refund. I can see maybe Seasport and/or Viator may have some incentive for not being clear, up front, about the broad range of things that could disualify. Google "PADI diver medical participant questionnaire" before signing up for the activity. It could save you some money. read more

HOLY FLIP! if you're unsure if you've ever want to go diving... GO HERE! we did two dives (which is what i recommend doing) and it's the most fun i've ever had! they're so nice, helpful, knowledgeable, and calmed my nerves when i freaked out haha! also book with carlos, HE IS SO COOL!!!! read more

Always the best! Very knowledgeable DMs, professional and friendly. Anthony, Erica, Cole, and Tom all deserve a shout out! They are great! Everytime I'm in Kauai, this is my dive shop. Always 5 stars! read more

My first time in Kauai, I had the pleasure of doing an early morning dive. We got to do a 2 tank dive with Seasport Divers. They have a superstar team, immaculate boat, and excellent equipment. They took us to see some amazing dive sites with every animal you could expect to see- fish, sharks, octopus, dolphins, you name it. In comparison to Oahu dives, this takes the cake. I highly recommend diving with Seasport Divers. Mahalo Joe, Debbie, and Captain Cole. We will be back! read more

We had the best trip with Seasport divers! Professional, friendly , safe! We spent 12 amazing hours with them! They care about our safety , the environment , showing us this amazing underwater world off of Ni'ihau highly recommend the seaside with them read more

Anthony was extremely trustworthy as a dive master and never stopped making sure that everything was taken care of for us all day, whether it be prepping our gear or lunch or beach chairs. Jordan was an excellent captain who knew how to find all the wildlife to see (including a whale shark!), and how to maneuver for best views of the lehua keyhole. 10/10 day. read more

This experience is a MUST! Obviously one of the best parts is getting to explore what lies underneath the surface of the ocean. However, the overall experience wouldn't have been the same without the team at Seasport Divers. They are friendly, accommodating, and HILARIOUS! The divers/ captain have a well rounded knowledge on the different species of sea life. 10/10 recommend :) read more

This trip was amazing! I was nervous initially given this was my first time doing this , but the crew that took us out was fabulous. They were calm and very patient with all of is. They also made sure it was a fun environment which eased my uneasiness. I felt very safe and had a blast with this group. read more

What a great day of life! The instructors Sophie and Anthony were all very professional and knowledgable. Our captain Cole was charming, in-charge and ready for anything that came up during our trip. Everyone in the shop in advance of the trip was helpful, kind and friendly. They were patient when our paperwork was not quite in order and helped us get through it quickly and with no stress or pressure. Good tip for novice is to be sure to read all their instructions including watching the required videos well in advance of arrival! They were all AWESOME, we would do it again! read more

Our scuba diving experience was nothing short of amazing! From start to finish, the staff made us feel completely comfortable and supported. The Dive Master began by taking us into shallow water (about 4 feet deep) to go over all the basics. We were able to practice, ask questions, and asked us questions to ensure we fully understood everything before heading out. When it came time for the actual dive, the team was incredibly patient and reassuring. Even though we got a little nervous and backed out of the first attempt, the boat captain took the time to explain things, helped us feel at ease, and brought us to a shallower spot for another try--and it was absolutely beautiful. During the dive, we saw sea slugs, snails, turtles, and so many other fascinating creatures. The instructor was great about pointing out everything he spotted and explaining what we were seeing. One of the most magical moments was hearing the humpback whales singing underwater--it was surreal. On the surface, we saw about eight humpback whales coming up for air and possibly doing some fishing. The captain even took us closer so we could watch these magnificent creatures in action. It was truly unforgettable. My dive buddy stayed close the entire time, helping adjust my weights and vest until I was balanced. This dive shop went above and beyond to make our experience safe, enjoyable, and memorable. I can't recommend them enough! read more

Nice spot to get your gear for everything ocean, got fishing and diving stuff, slippers, glasses and rash guards, flask, etc.... My only feedback would be to greet everyone even tho your in an interaction, just make people feel welcomed. Aloha is free! read more

Crew very thorough regarding safety briefing. Overall a fantastic experience. Would highly recommend.

One of the most enjoyable dives my husband and I have ever had largely in part due to Debbie our dive instructor! From her knowledge of the marine life we were going to be seeing to her eagle eye underwater spotting a baby octopus and following her lead to not disturb a group of turtles who we got to hangout with while they were at a cleaning status, it was an incredible dive. Debbie's all around good vibes were infectious, and her counterpart educated us on enriched air leading to us getting our enriched air certification. Love this dive shop and their staff! We can't wait to come back and dive here again! read more

Carlos did an exceptional job as DI on our two shore dives. The crew at the store were helpful and friendly and I totally satisfied with this experience. Highly recomended. read more

Positive experience from start to finish. It was my first boat dive and they were quite accommodating to all my questions and nerves. 5 of us on the boat and they don't end the dive if you still have air left. We kept going until the last drop! Caverns were such a highlight. DM Andrew did a great job pointing out and making sure everyone had a chance to see. Crew were attuned to everything, even throwing away my granola bar trash for me! Boat was stocked with water and snacks. What a great local experience! read more

If you are a diver .. you cannot miss Ni'ihau with Seasport! Seriously though .. CANNOT MISS!! I can't say enough amazing things about this team. I was sick the week before traveling to Kauai and was worried about my residual congestion / sinuses leading up to the 3 dives. I stopped in the dive shop the evening before the dive and the expert staff helped to assuage my concerns .. they told me I would be diving with Anthony the next day it would be a day I would NOT want to miss, because he has a magical relationship with the ocean life around the Forbidden Island. Thank goodness I listened to them .. I would have never forgiven myself if I had missed this day which was honestly the best day of my life. Per their guidance .. I stocked up on Sudafed and Afrin and was good to go. Anthony and Jordan, the captain, could not have been more amazing. Both of them were constantly working, ensuring the tidy ship and brand new, high-end equipment were all good to go and so were we. I barely had to lift a finger the entire trip and it was pure enjoyment, Anthony was also an extremely capable and experienced dive master and I felt safe the entire time, even when a current picked up on our second dive. While yes, it is a long commute out to Ni'ihau and a long day in general, take some Dramamine with you for the waves and you will be fine! They had everything else you could possibly need on board - water, coffee, breakfast, delicious fruit, lunch. I rented equipment and it was the nicest I have ever rented. The dives did not disappoint. At one point, there were too many exciting to see at once and you literally did not know where to look .. multiple sandbar sharks cruising by, rare / endangered Hawaiian monk seals, octopus, from the surface we saw manta rays, pods of spinner dolphins, sea turtles, and the BOSS of a Captain Jordan was able to navigate it all. We didn't miss a thing!! I would have considered the trip 10 / 10 but on the way back, the most magical thing happened. The captain spotted something HUGE in front of us in the middle of the open ocean, somewhere between Ni'ihau and Kauai. He navigated the boat right up to a whale shark and immediately let us jump in with our mask and fins .. it was ELECTRIC! He wasn't satisfied with that because not everyone got in the water quickly enough, so sure enough he found another, even larger one which was so curious about us that we got to swim together for a good 5 - 6 minutes and it was a completely intimate, natural, un-threatening environment for this majestic animal, unlike other places you can go to try to swim with them around the world. I will never forget this day and I honestly still can't believe it happened! I would have never forgiven myself if I had missed this trip and I hope you won't miss it either! read more

Had a blast with capt Jordan, Anthony, Erica and Justin on a Tuesday morning boat dive. We've been coming to Kauai for the past 3 years and this was our first time at Fish Bowl which was amazing! Great shop, crew and staff. Always look forward to diving with them. Our first two dives with capt Ryan and Debbie on Sunday afternoon were epic. Sheraton's caverns never disappoint. Visibility was great and finished my second dive with plenty of air after 60 minute dive. Can't wait until next year already to do group trip to Niihau with all 3 of my kids. read more

Customer service is everything. My girlfriend called and spoke with Cameron who let her know he was willing to take us out but conditions weren't great. With it being my first time diving, he let her know it would not be a good day to experience it for the first time so we didn't go. He goes above and beyond and calls us as promised the next day and lets us know conditions were still not great but they would be going if we wanted to still dive. We ended up holding off but the honesty of letting us know it wouldn't be that nice is great when they could have easily just taken our money and let us go look at cloudy water. Appreciate it big time Cameron and when we go back y'all are our first stop! read more

Amazing knowledgeable staff. We did the shore entry dive at kola landing. Saw turtles and all kinds of fish.

Great dusk and night dives with divemaster John. He was a great communicator, patient and educated about the ocean flora and fauna. Highly recommend Seasport divers. read more

Sea sport divers is fabulous! We rented scuba gear here for a shore dive, and did a boat dive on a different day. The staff are kind, helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. Our 2 morning dives from the boat were amazing. Great selections from the Seasport staff. Special shout out to dive masters Debbie and Andrew! And a big thank you to Captain Tom. You all are awesome! Hope to be back to dive with you all again soon. read more

this a a class act. I've been diving with this shop for over 20 years. I went to Ni'ihau yesterday. never disappoint

Best dive experience in 30 years of diving. Staff are all about safety and our best interests. Will always come back to them, always. Perfect on every level read more

Fun crew who know the waters and dive locations well. They are up for fun and adventure with their divers - boat captain caught a glimpse of a whale spout and we were off on quest to find it, and we did! read more

One of my pledges this year is complete reviews of dive sites and dive shops I've used or visited. Seasports Divers is my favorite dive shop on Kauai. They're a full service dive shop: with dive trips, gear, rental, and mech. Based out of Koloa on Kauai's South Side, the harbor where their dive boats is less than a mile away. Although they have a variety of dives, their ne plus ultra dive is their 3 tank Niihau trip. Taking over 2 hours to boat over, this is an early morning/all day trip. For this trip Seasports provides light snacks in the morning and full lunch of sandwiches & sides. As Niihau is privately owned, our dives were off of one of the smaller subsidiary islands nearby. Water clarity is exceptional! Visibility of 100+ feet is normal. Our 3 dives were two sea pinnacles- Vertical Awareness & Pyramid Point, and a sea wall called appropriately called Key Hole after the above water feature it resembles. The stars of the show were the wildlife, especially Hawaiian Monk Seals! There are more monk seals in and around Niihau than the rest of the main islands put together! Our sites included several "resident" monk seals who have become familiar with divers. Sometimes they were playful and played with divers, especially with the bubbles we exhaled; sometimes they were standoffish- but always interesting! Wire coral gobies were another interesting sight. Although I've seen them on Oahu & Big Island, they were more common here. At one point, we saw 3 of these tiny less-than-an-inch fishes on 3 different wire corals in a row, woah! On Vertical Awareness there is also a resident Sandbar Shark, I've seen other types as well- white tips, and gray sharks. And a number of nudibranchs, shrimp, and other interesting sealife! In summary, the 3 tank Niihau is a diver's dream! As a very classy closer, they open up a limited number of beach chairs on the deck so the 2 1/2 to 3 hour boat ride back to Kauai is a little more pleasant. If you own your own gear, they also have wash bins back at the shop to rinse your gear. Seasports does offer other dive trips as well, guided shore dives, and tank/weight rentals as well. Great service at a reasonable price, what more do you want? Definitely repeat and highly recommend if you plan to dive on Kauai! #supportlocal! read more

My first time diving with Seasport and chose them as they came recommended. My dive of choice was Niihau (which is actually diving Lehua - the crater next to Niihau) My first impressions - the boat was ok - nothing fancy - but they do have cockroaches so make sure your bags are closed. Also the staff was a bit hit and miss. I pointed out that the my rental BCD was too large and asked to swap it out. My request was rejected - I was told to just dive with it and if it's too big after dive 1 they can switch out. I had been on 2 diving trips months before so that just didn't sit well so asked a second dive master and they agreed to swap it out. Diving: Our first dive was at keyhole. We were told to dive in 2 groups but my dive master went mia a bit into the dive so it became one large group. Could be bc there were some inexperienced divers on the dive.‍. They say you must have 30 dives under your belt but I later learned that doesn't apply to everyone. Fortunately dive 2 and 3 were much more organized and we saw quite a bit - monk seals, sandbar & white tip sharks, turtle, and angelfish, tangs, unicorn fish, butterflyfish, wrasse, damsels, trumpetfish... Food served was ok. Muffins in the am which were really tasty. Lunch was make your own sandwich and we had some snacks in between. Your drink option is limited to bottled water only. All in all the experience was not as good as I've had compared to other dive shops on the islands. Kinda left with mixed feelings on this dive experience. read more

My fiancé and I wanted to scuba while in Hawaii. But, I needed to get my PADI complete ASAP. Seasport was able to get me in a group for that week. My instructor, Bri, was incredibly patient, professional, and fun. Despite inclement (not dangerous) weather and less than desired visibility, we were able to get my certification and all 4 dives done in 2 days! I wouldn't have been able to do this without Bri's flexibility and dedication to getting us certified. My fiancé (who was already PADI certified) was able to join for the last 2 dives, which was really special. I can't recommend this dive shop enough! read more

Seasport Divers - Our dive boat on our final dive day. - Scuba Diving Near Me - Koloa, Hawaii

Outstanding. Teighlor and Brea were great and we had a great time. Location is perfect and we were provided top line gear.

Excellent , friendly, and very knowledgeable staff. The Dives are amazing and so surreal you won't believe everything you experience. The Dive Masters Anthony, Q (Andrew 3rd), Debbie, Thomas , and Erica are very experienced, kind & so thorough that they all made the trip a wonderful experience. And Jordan the captain, I can't say enough about how kind, sweet, and helpful he was. And Corbin is a terrific human with alot of knowledge and did so much for me and my wife. Thank you Seasport Divers. We will be back. Oh and they have excellent merch in their shop. read more

highly recommend using Seasport Divers. Needed a bolt to mount my light to my camera and they did all they could. My guide Anthony was also fantastic. He spotted all sorts of life including a flying gunard. I would definitely go with them again. read more

We came out on Sept 2019. Loved it!!! The instructor was amazing and showed us around and made sure I was always ok. We recently went back May 22, 2023. The non certified class takes place at the beach. It was a rough one, my husband got knocked down and dragged me with him. I think this upset the instructor Andrew. We could not get back up and Andrew carried my equipment back to the van. The water was very choppy but was able to jump out. This was my 6th dive. I had a hard time going down, usually the instructor adds weights than takes them out once I'm down. Immediately I hit the sand floor and was not able to go up. My husband seemed to have left and the instructor was no where in site. Every time we dive whether it was here, Fiji Cayman Islands etc the instructor was always present in front of me. Then he has the audacity to get upset with my husband and I saying we left on our own. I got frustrated and decided to end the dive, I did struggle because it was rough out there, Andrew not once helped he just watched. It was the captain who ended up helping me. I was very upset that I did not do the 2nd dive. Fortunately I did not miss out as my husband said it was the same location we went to back in 2019. We are looking to get certified, since we both love scuba diving. The owner is very nice and the captain was very helpful we had good conversation while everyone was on the 2nd dive. read more

Great dive shop for me and my 13 year old daughter who was getting her open water certification. Divemaster Jeff was amazing, super chill and patient. The dive boat is really nice, and Captain Cole put us onto some Humpback's during our dive interval, which was amazing. All the staff was great. read more

Very impressive dive shop. Q (Andrew) and Kyle are excellent dive masters. Both are very enthusiastic. I got to give a couple of times with Q, who pointed out so many sea creatures on our dives. Marvin, the owner, joined us on our second day. It was a pleasure to chat with him. His customer service is outstanding and he has been a huge supporter of his community in Kōloa and Poʻipū. read more

I did my open water dive certification with Seasport and can't say enough about how wonderful the whole team was! From Teighler in the shop who took amazing care of us, to Ryan and Kyle on my boat dive, I felt welcomed, well informed, and taken care of. Most of all I want to thank Bree who took me on my shore dives. She was great at thoroughly taking me through the setup of my equipment and making sure I felt supported, safe, and comfortable on our dives. Also a shout out to the owner Marvin. He has put together a top notch team who makes you feel like family. Mahalo! Can't wait to dive with them again! read more

Great support. They provide a great service. My wife was certified. She had a fear of being in the ocean. There support, patience helped her build confidence and achieve certification. read more

Our 12 year old twin boys got certified by Sierra at Seasport Divers. She is a consummate professional and extremely thorough in her instruction. The boys enjoyed the training and dives. They are now open water certified and we have Sierra and team to thank you the memorable experience! read more

We have had the privilege to dive with Seasport Divers for over 20 years now. The shop staff, boat captains, and Insturctors/DMs are phenomenal. Their Aloha for the island and kuleana to share Ike (knowledge) about the fish life, reefs, history and culture is incredible. Even with new staff, and having been away for 5 years, we are instantly treated like family. As certified Divemasters and Assitant Instructors, we are often a bit guarded with dive operations.. with the Seasport family, there are only positives. This time, our 14 year old was finishing his open water check out dives. Corbin did a phenomenal job and our son is super psyched for his next diving adventure. Mahalos Seasport!!! read more
