Seasport Divers is Kauai’s long-standing scuba family, guiding visitors beneath the island’s turquoise waters for over 37 years. As the only PADI 5-Star Instructor Development Center on the island, their seasoned crew pairs world-...
Seasport stands out for having a genuinely passionate crew rather than just running divers through a production line. Reviewers consistently praise guides like Carlos (the "octopus magnet"), Captain Cole, Debbie, Sophie, and Thomas for creating personalized experiences where safety comes first but fun is never forgotten. The team takes time to get to know guests and what they want from their dives, whether that's spotting specific marine life or building confidence for first-timers. People appreciate the unhurried pace and the crew's deep knowledge of Kauai's waters. The marine life encounters are spectacular—expect turtles galore, octopus, dolphins, eels, and vibrant tropical fish. Night dives seem especially magical as the underwater world transforms. The shop itself gets love for its well-stocked selection and helpful staff who'll take time finding the perfect mask fit. One reviewer mentioned some disorganization with shore dive weights and no gas analyzer provided for nitrox, so there may be occasional hiccups with logistics. Overall though, this is a crew that clearly loves sharing the ocean with people, from nervous first-timers to experienced divers tackling advanced sites like Niihau.
My husband and I went on a beginner’s scuba dive that required no experience or certification. We have both been scuba diving before but haven’t had the chance to get certified yet, so this seemed like a good option. We were paired with another couple and one of them couldn’t swim. Our teacher/host/instructor, Amelie was amazing! She was so patient with all of us. Our non-swimmer ended up needed to go back because she had pain in her ears. But, Amelie was the best! She swam her back and continued with our dives. There were so many things that could’ve ruffled her feathers, but she was a pro and made sure that we had an amazing experience. We did a shore dive, which in my opinion is harder than a boat dive, but she made sure we were all safe and cared for. I would 100% recommend Seasport Divers and Amelie. We had a fantastic experience.
