Butch Sjostrom
Owner |

Butch first visited Grand
Cayman in 1963 and was enchanted by the Caymanian
way of life. He returned to his job as an advertising executive for Northwest
Airlines in Minneapolis and began his search for the perfect
sailboat. He found it in Los Angeles and sailed to the Cayman Islands
February 1973. The normally 5 to 6 month trip took 18 months. Ask him
about Hurricane Bernice off the Mexican Coast or spending New year's
with the Kuna Indians of San Blas, Panama. |

If you want to know some
history of the Island, Butch is the man to talk to. He has many
stories about the good old days here in Grand Cayman and a deep
appreciation of the wonderful today's that are so prevalent in this
Caribbean paradise.
Butch has spent over 15,000 hours under the water. He shares this
knowledge and experience with our staff, to ensure that your
adventures with us include having the best dives on the Island.

Greg Jacobs
Instructor / Owner |

 Greg Jacobs is the newest addition to Seasports, becoming a partner with Butch in June 2006.
Greg has been diving in the Cayman Islands since 1981 as a tourist and later as an Instructor. After many excursions throughout the Caribbean - Mexico, Belize, St Martin, Dominica, and Turks and Caicos - he has come back to where it all started.
Greg is from Central Indiana - a hotbed of quarry diving, He'd be happy to share some of his stories with while doing a surface interval after enjoying a crystal
clear, 80°F, 100ft dive with you in Grand Cayman! Prior to becoming a partner with Butch, Greg was a consulting actuary/equity partner
with MIlliman USA, an international consulting firm for 27 years. If you know what an actuary is, he'd also love to share stories with you about
the actuarial world!
Becoming a part of Seasports has been the fulfillment of a dream for Greg and his wife Karen (who you'll likely
see out on the dive boat now and then). Come down and enjoy diving with us!

"I have now logged over two hundred dives with Seasports and have
enjoyed every minute. The diving is great, as you never know what is
just around the corner. I have seen stingrays, spotted eagle rays,
turtles, the biggest lobsters, giant rainbow parrotfish, big grouper,
tarpon, and barracuda, green moray eels and the odd eight-foot nurse
shark! Not to mention the myriad of smaller fish. There is a relaxed
atmosphere on board their dive boat with lots of camaraderie between
divers especially those who have made friends and return year after
year. Butch and Greg make a great team who bring true professionalism
to the operation and I have no hesitation in giving them my highest recommendation."
Dive safely,
