Comments	Seasport Divers has a wonderful boat. Ladders that are relatively long so it is easy to climb on to the boat. There is plenty of room on the boat and lots of shade. They have several dive masters on the boat and attempt to divide the boat into relatively small, matched groups. For example, we had 4 divers in our group and one day we had our own dive master. Another day there were 18 divers on the boat with 4 dive masters, so no group had more than 6 people. The dive masters are knowledgeable and do point things out, however they tend to cover a lot of ground, so if you like to stop and look at things you are out of luck. They setup your gear, switch tanks, and help you out of the water if you want the help. The main highlights of the dives were turtles, lots of turtles, huge turtles. 20 in 1 dive would not be an exaggeration. We also saw two frogfish, one very large. We also dove Koloa Landing. It is a very easy entry and exit shore dive about a 2 minute drive from the dive shop. Visibility was about 20 feet that day, but there were several very large turtles sleeping under rocks, etc. In short, the dive shop, boat and dive masters are some of the best I have worked with, but it is Hawaii, so the coral and fish is not world class. Though I saw more large turtles there than anywhere else I have dove.
