Although en experienced diver (master scuba diver rating) this was my first live-aboard. The trip more than met my expectations. The crew was both very experienced and extremely amiable, the food wonderful and well-prepared and the diving excellent. Ciara meanwhile was both a very professional, helpful and friendly leader, especially with the less experienced divers. In addition she was very attentive in keeping us briefed ahead of the trip and during. She even helped resolve a passport issue that, if not taken care of, would have prevented me from going. I could not have asked for a better first live-aboard.

An Unforgettable Adventure with Seaira Dives! 🤿🫧 If you're seeking a diving experience that's as enriching as it is exhilarating, look no further than Seaira Dives. Founded and led by the exceptional Ciara Michaud—a PADI Instructor, Army veteran, and seasoned traveler—this woman-owned business offers more than just diving trips; it provides transformative adventures that celebrate inclusivity, community, and the wonders of the underwater world. Our recent journey to Tiger Beach in the Bahamas aboard the Bahamas Aggressor was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we set sail, every detail was meticulously planned and executed. The luxurious liveaboard yacht served as the perfect base, offering comfort and camaraderie after exhilarating dives with Tiger Sharks, Reef Sharks, and other majestic marine life. Evenings were filled with laughter, games, and shared stories, fostering a sense of community among divers. What truly sets Seaira Dives apart is Ciara's unwavering commitment to her divers. Her extensive experience—over 2,000 dives—and her background as a military officer shine through in her exceptional organizational skills and calm demeanor. She has an innate ability to unite a diverse group of individuals, ensuring everyone feels welcome and valued. Her positive energy is infectious, creating an environment where learning, adventure, and connection thrive. Whether you're a seasoned diver or a newcomer, traveling with Seaira Dives guarantees an experience that is both professional and deeply personal. Ciara's passion for diving and her dedication to fostering a supportive, inclusive community make every trip memorable. For those seeking a diving adventure that goes beyond the ordinary, Seaira Dives is the perfect choice. With Ciara at the helm, you're not just exploring the depths of the ocean—you're diving into a journey of growth, connection, and unforgettable memories.

We started our planning for this vacation last year. We chose Seaira Dives. This was our first live aboard, and would be our first trip with Ciara. The trip was well planned out, and Ciara provided us with all the information about the trip and what to expect. From the beginning, this was a first class experience. We choose to arrive a day earlier to ensure that we would not miss the boat. The hotel where we would get on the boat was perfect and we got a good night sleep. We arrived on the boat, and met a very experienced and professional crew. The trip was first class. The food was wonderful. We could not have asked for a better, more caring, or respectful crew. They treated us like royalty. Ciara was a great hostess. Her planning, and attention to detail make this trip one of the best experiences that we could have asked for. The diving was the best. We saw so many sharks, and other marine life. Ciara was always there to support us. The boat was immaculately clean, and well cared for. Our cabin was always taken care of by the crew. This was our first trip with Seaira Dives, and will not be the last. Ciara assembled a wonderful group of people to go on this trip, and we are looking forward to going to Fiji next year, and diving with some of the same folks again. This was a trip we will never forget.

We had an absolutely unforgettable experience with Seaira Dives at the legendary Tiger Beach in the Bahamas. From the moment we arrived, the crew made us feel right at home with their professionalism, warmth, and deep passion for the ocean. Every detail—from the dive briefings to the safety protocols—was handled with care and precision, ensuring that each dive was both thrilling and secure. The encounters with tiger sharks were nothing short of breathtaking. Watching these magnificent animals glide by with such grace and power was an experience we’ll never forget. We also had the chance to see reef sharks, lemon sharks, and a vibrant variety of marine life that made each dive unique and captivating. Whether you’re a seasoned diver or new to shark diving, this is the kind of bucket list adventure that leaves a lasting impression. Beyond the diving, the food was fresh, flavorful, and plentiful. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and perfectly suited for relaxing after a full day in the water. The entire trip was well organized, with just the right balance of structure and flexibility. Huge thanks to the Seaira Dives team for creating such a phenomenal experience. We’re already thinking about our next trip!

My first trip with Seaira Dives to Curaçao was absolutely surreal! Everything was so well-organized, and I enjoyed every single moment. The weather was perfect, the diving was incredible, and the people in our group were so much fun and super friendly. Seaira Dives thought of every little detail to make the experience unforgettable. Our group had people of all ages, from teens to those over sixty, and everyone was involved in the activities. Nobody felt left out. I could feel my diving skills improving with each dive, thanks to Seaira Dives. The photos and videos shared with the group are phenomenal , and I know they’ll be my favorites—at least until the next trip with Seaira Dives!

Working with Ciara as my scuba dive. Instructor was an incredible experience. Her knowledge and extensive experience made me feel very confident as I learned new skills underwater. Ciara is particularly exceptional at equipping her students with all the knowledge they need in order to confidently apply and master new skills. Throughout all of my training with her, she was extremely patient with me as a new learner, she was always open to reviewing things as many times as I needed, which made me feel at ease as I learned new skills underwater that I wasn’t used to. I would highly recommend working with Ciara as she always gives and delivers her 100% best. Not only that, but the trips she guides are so much fun, she does an exceptional job at bringing diverse people together and helping us connect authentically over our love for scuba diving.

I was lucky enough to go on a dive trip that Ciara led to Belize this year. I've been diving for over thirty years and Ciara is the best trip coordinator I have ever known. She is an exceptional diver/instructor who has a brilliant sense of curiosity and a BIG passion for travel that shows up in her extensive knowledge of dive sites around the globe. It was no surprise when I learned that she served 15 years in the military before retiring as a captain from the Army - it shows in her incredible attention to detail and her ability to solve complex issues in realtime while maintaining her cool (and her sense of humor!). I highly recommend traveling with Seaira Dives - you'll get a well-planned trip at a great price and I guarantee you'll love getting to know Ciara!
