“Avoid Dive Sea World”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2013

I sent a few emails to Dive Sea World a week and a half before my trip using their contact page email. After no response in 2 days I sent another message through the contact form on the website. Roy Watkins contacted me back almost immediately so I thought it was just an issue with the email. I made arrangements for 2 of us to go out and do a couple of dives one day during our trip. I was told in one email we would be picked up at 8:45 at our resort. A later email changed it to 8 am. We were ready to go a little before 8. We didn't expect Roy to be there at exactly 8. This is the Caribbean after all. Still no Roy at 8:30. I went to check the email I had received and saw the 8:45 reference and thought that must be the time he's coming. By 9 am I got someone at our resort to call Roy. When I got Roy on the phone he told me conditions were very bad and they were not going out today. He said he sent me an email telling me this. I didn't have email access so couldn't verify this, but when I returned home I did not find an email from Roy canceling the trip. But here's the best part, I went to the watersports booth at the resort we were staying at and talked to them about diving and they happened to not have anything scheduled so we went right out and did a dive. Sea conditions were great. Less than 1' waves and visibility was at least 50 feet. My guess is Roy didn't have anyone else going out and didn't want to waist his time with just 2 divers. After reading other reviews here about Roy and his operation I'm glad he canceled on us. I would likely not have gone out even if he had shown up because we analyze all of our tanks for carbon monoxide and would likely have come up with a very high reading based on what I've read in other reviews. I don't know how this guy stays in business.

“Scuba”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed December 24, 2012

I recently dove with sea caribe whilst on a cruise stopping in Jamaica. I had been in contact with Roy and made all my arrangements. They picked me up at the port and I was the only diver. The dives were good and I was all set to write a positive review but when I returned to the ship to clean my gear I found my regulator filter was brown from contaminates in the tank (I use a apollo bio filter) and had a foul smell when I opened the filter unit. I thought the air 'tasted' funny. I reported it to Roy so they could check their tanks. I was disappointed that they did not seem overly concerned or offer to replace my filter. Communication was really good in the planning but the fouled tanks would prevent me from recommending them.

“Dive Seaworld was exactly what I was looking for!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 1, 2012

I absolutely loved my experience with Roy and Vincent! I went out on a discovery dive and the waters were beautiful! Roy picked me up at the hotel and showed me many of the sites on the way to his facility. After introducing me to Vincent, we were shortly on our way. The water was clear and he took me out on a beautiful reef! Saw some wonderful things and would not have changed a thing. Roy then took me back to the hotel. I had ZERO complaints with this company and will be contacting them on my next return to Montego Bay! Thanks so much Dive Seaworld!!!

“Quaint”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 15, 2012

Recently we stayed at Cariblue Hotel.although not new ,is not a DUMP .If on a budget & need a reasonable place to stay one can go there. It is not all inclusive .Everything was clean T.V. etc worked .It is value for money .The room was big the view great.I must say Kudos to Mr Walkin and staff (I can be picky.)they were very accommodating.
