Dove with Seattle Dive Tours Nov 13/15, at Seacrest and Rodondo dive parks and had an amazing time.
Seattle Dive Tours hospitality and professionalism is first class. Special thanks to Billy for his great onshore support and technical support, and Olivia for her first class Divemaster work, guiding us around all the great sites to see. Face-to-face with a Harbour Seal was the highlight! I would recommend Seattle Dive Tours to anyone planning their next dive adventure in the area.

While visiting family in Kitsap County, I joined SDT for a two tank dive at Sund Rock in May 2021. It was an outstanding experience - excellent communication, small groups, great guides, and a superb dive day on the Hood Canal. From start to finish - communication with the dive shop, pre-dive comms, gear rental, and support at the site, it was a top notch outing.

The tours are great, the equipment's high-quality, and the guides are skilled. It's a different experience not having to carry anything to or from a dive site, but an absolutely welcome and stress-free one to be sure. All of this comes at a price, however, so I'd recommend going with these guys once or twice to get the feel of dive spots then saving yourself hundreds by just going with friends. Highly recommended though!

Seattle Dive Tours is an outstanding company. The instruction is top notch and the owner Scott is very responsive. Our instructors Scott and Kate were the best I have experienced in my dive career, which includes hundred dives around the world and the just finished rescue course. Kate answered all kinds of questions, made sure she challenged us and yet all had fun. She really put forth an effort to help us be better divers. Scott went above and beyond, not only as an instructor but as an example of his passion for diving and concern for others. An amazing business, we look forward to further training

Incredible dive guides. I did a 2 tank shore dive and was blown away by the professional team running it. They have shore-side support (with backup equipment if you are missing anything) which was really nice, along with a wonderful dive guide who pointed out many nudibranchs!
