Traveling with Chris is an adventure like no other! From meticulously planned itineraries to spontaneous, unforgettable moments, every trip I’ve taken with Chris has been seamless and packed with fun. One of my favorite memories with Chris was diving along a vibrant coral wall in Dominica and spotting a giant sea turtle gliding to the depths. At a careful distance, we followed the turtle - it felt magical. Chris has an incredible knack for bringing together people from all walks of life and creating a welcoming, adventurous, and stress-free atmosphere. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or new to diving (like I was not too long ago), Chris ensures everyone feels comfortable and included. I wholeheartedly recommend Chris for your next adventure – his passion for travel, both above and below the surface, shines through in every detail. You’ll leave with memories that last a lifetime!

I have chosen to travel with Chris because he is fun, organized, easygoing, and makes everything stress-free. Chris will take care of you! It doesn't matter if you are 5 or 95, and make sure everything runs smoothly. He gives great pre-trip information. He makes sure everyone's questions are answered. When he travels with us he always is the first to arrive and the last to get through the airports and he is there for you every step of the way. One time we were at the airport and he gave me his blanket because I was cold on a flight. He didn't need to do that, but it made my flight much more enjoyable. I have traveled with him to Grand Cayman, Belize, Honduras, St Lucia, and even Fiji with him! Planning and organization can make a big difference in everyone's enjoyment. Attention to those details allows the group to relax and focus on the experience. He is also the greatest scuba instructor I've ever met! His experience in Scuba is immense. You will be in good hands.

I’ve traveled with Chris for diving vacations many times, and he never fails to exceed my expectations. Whether you’re a seasoned diver or a complete beginner, he has an incredible way of making everyone feel included and comfortable. His attention to detail is unmatched—he takes the time to understand your preferences, skill level, and what you’re looking to get out of the trip. He does his research and strives to ensure the diving and the accommodations are up to your standards. What really sets him apart is his ability to create a sense of community among the group. From morning coffee to after-dinner socializing, he fosters a welcoming environment where everyone feels like they are friends, not just customers. If you’re looking for a hassle-free, unforgettable scuba diving vacation, I can’t recommend him highly enough. 5/5 stars!

Traveling with Chris is always a great experience. He is organized, knowledgeable, and able to handle a change or travel problems with professionalism. His communication with everyone is always informative, providing reminders for activities as well as options for people to do and how to arrange them if it’s not part of the scheduled trip already. I always know I’m going to have an amazing, no-stress trip when Chris is in charge, both above and below the water!

I have gone on many dive trips with Chris, and I cannot recommend him enough. Chris is skilled at accommodating diverse group of people with very different expectations for their vacations. He somehow manages to ensure everyone has an unforgettable experience. His patience and calm demeanor are impressive—even when faced with challenges, he maintains a positive attitude and a fun, approachable personality. He was my scuba instructor and taught my open water course and from the very beginning, I was struck by his ability to ease the nerves of students. He creates a safe environment for everyone, and makes even the most inexperienced individuals feel confident and comfortable in the water. Beyond his teaching skills, Chris is someone I trust implicitly. I know that in any challenging or risky situation underwater, he has the knowledge, experience, and composure to handle it. I wouldn’t hesitate to travel with Chris again—as he makes every dive trip better by being involved.

hris has been an incredible trip leader, SCUBA instructor, and friend through my journey as a diver. Chris led a trip I was on with my family. In Isla Mujeres where we snorkeled with whale sharks- an unforgettable experience. Chris saw my passion for snorkeling, helped me get SCUBA certified, find the right gear, and led me on three incredible dive trips to Gainesville, Florida, Grand Cayman, and the Exuma Cays in the Bahamas. I completed my certification in Gainesville in a group of divers of all skill levels. Chris balanced the differences in skill levels well- he gave autonomy to the more experienced divers while supervising and instructing the new divers. Chris has always made me feel safe. His trips are carefully planned and thought out, and most importantly Chris ensures fun is had by all. I look forward to booking another trip with Chris, and I recommend him to anyone looking for an exciting, fun-filled adventure, above or below the water.

y personal experience traveling with Chris. I found our time together on these trips to be carefree and fun. Chris made the trips that way, his style is very laid back. I was informed of every detail along the way and never did I feel that I was imposing on him during the trip to ask a question I knew he had answered previously. I found Chris's advice on diving to be very helpful and improved my experience under the water. He knows what he talking about as a long-term diver and group leader.

I have had so many great memories due to Chris as a dive vacation planner and I have a huge list of trips with him. Trips from liveaboards in the Bahamas to exotic island destinations in Belize, Bonaire, Cayman Islands, and Roatan. One thing was always a constant. He did whatever it took to make the experience top-notch whether you were a beginner or advanced. Without me even asking him, he helped me celebrate my 400th dive, making sure I had photo and video memories of the milestone. In Roatan, I had tested positive for COVID-19 and Chris made me feel at ease as the possibility of having to quarantine there after everyone left before I could legally return home to the US was becoming a reality. Fortunately for me, a subsequent COVID test proved negative, so it was a non-issue, but I cannot tell you how much I appreciated his support and concern when I didn’t know where to turn. I recommend Chris Lucas wholeheartedly and I would dive with him anytime!

I am currently an Advanced Open Water Scuba Diver thanks to Chris. I had originally quit during the Open Water certification process due to fear and anxiety, and then Chris took me under his wing. He took over as my dive instructor and helped me get through the process via one-on-one diving sessions. I have been on several dive trips that Chris organized and led. Chris was the primary reason that I, along with other dive team members went on these trips. His commitment to our safety, along with always offering to help us become better divers is unparalleled. He is extremely knowledgeable, caring, and a great dive master. I am sure our dive team will look forward to diving with Chris and SeaLuke Scuba Travel soon!

Going on dive trips with Chris has been some of the most memorable experiences of our lives! Not only did he train us to get SSI certified, but on later dive trips to Canada, Honduras, and Fiji, he’d also keep an eye on us underwater, provide feedback and specialty training, as well as answer any questions. His guidance made us feel much more comfortable and safe in the water. It’s always a pleasure and much more relaxing to know Chris is around and eager to help when needed! However, what truly makes Chris awesome is his positive attitude that keeps the entire group upbeat and excited, regardless of whether you’re new to diving or have a ton of prior experience. He also takes amazing photos during our dives and promptly shares those so we can send them to family and post on social media. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your experience and makes every moment unforgettable, Chris is the only guy you’ll ever need. He’s simply the best! ??
