One thing I noticed after 15 years of experience in the scuba community was the “good ol' boy” locker room vibe, which I am not a fan of. I wanted to find a community of people who wanted to explore the world, adventure, and treat everyone with respect.
We create a welcoming environment for everyone regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, age or ability. Our mission at Seaira Dives is to provide women, minorities, individuals with disabilities and veterans a safe, comfortable training environment and group travel centered around scuba diving, wellness, and environmental awareness.
You must be 18 years or older to attend a trip UNLESS a parent or guardian accompanies you.
Anywhere from 4 – 12 days, depending on location and time of year. We try to schedule trips around federal holidays for maximum flexibility. Please check our travel calendar for the exact lengths of the trips!
The trip costs depend on the number of dives, accommodation type, additional activities, and additional travel.
Typically, for a resort-based trip, the cost will range from $1700 – $3000 per person. For a liveaboard, the cost will be between $2500 – $4000 per person.
Skill levels for the trips will always be listed on our travel calendar! Typically, I prefer to plan trips for all levels, but some locations are better suited for more advanced divers (i.e., the Galapagos, Palau, etc).
Yes! On most trips, I will offer Open Water certifications or help arrange your training with the dive center hosting the trip.
You should bring your full scuba kit to avoid gear rental costs BUT if you like to travel light and just want to rent gear, that's fine too!
We strive to book trips that offer disability-friendly diving. 🙂 Please get in touch for specific individual needs and any concerns.
Each trip will provide information on the local culture, people, and foods, and if possible, we will plan land activities in addition to the scuba activities!
We work with the best local dive shop we can find to curate a unique experience for our travelers. We consider time of year, wildlife, sea conditions, travel times, gear rentals, and so much more!
Seaira Dives takes conservation and preserving the natural environment very seriously. We take considerable care in planning trips and partnering with dive shops that share our values.
We urge our travelers to use reef-safe sunscreen, reusable water bottles, carpool/walk/use public transportation, and try to arrange for beach cleanups as part of our trips! We are also paperless!
I HIGHLY encourage everyone to get travel insurance for upcoming trips! I prefer DAN Travel Insurance
