Such a fantastic experience!!! My sister first went diving with Greg in 1997 and highly recommended him to us....20 years later my son Quinn( 9 years old)went for his first dive with Cassie, (Greg’s daughter) We came from Nebraska and this was his first experience in the ocean.... with fish, and he had an amazing time! My family and I came back to Kauai in July 2019 and this time my son went diving with Greg and yet again had an awesome experience where they saw an assortment of sea life including turtles, eels and even a reef shark! To say the least my son was hooked! In December 2019 I decided to take Quinn back to Kauai to get PADI certified with Watersports Adventurers(for his 12th birthday) Cassie was his instructor and was AMAZING! (she even sang Happy Birthday to him in Hawaiian!) We now live in San Diego so it would have been convenient to do the certification here, but because of the amazing and safe experiences we had with Greg and Cassie I wouldn’t have dreamed of going anywhere else! Plus I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else with my son. Cassie and Greg have given my son such an awesome opportunity and taught him to appreciate, respect and love the ocean and all of the creatures in it, especially on Kauai! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Cassie, Greg and Watersports Adventures. I definitely know we will be going back and I would encourage others to do so as well. 😊 Mahalo nui loa!!!!
Kristy KremanVery friendly. Had 2 great dives at tunnels beach. Excellent dive site from a limited access beach. Great small family operation. Accommodated our group of certified and non certified divers. Saw sharks, turtles octopus, Monk seals, caves, lava tubes and much more. Cassie was amazing. Thank you for showing us a great time.

Had a great Scuba adventure today with Watersports Adventures! I'm certified but haven't been in the ocean in 7 years. Wayne and Cassie were great guide giving me a refresher and giving my kids an intro to Scuba. Greg and Holly at the office were super helpful getting the dive setup.

We were at the Koloa landing today with Dylan. I had never dived before and was pretty scared. It was just my husband and I with the instructor so it was very one on one. He was super down to earth and very knowledgeable. When we got out into the water I started freaking out. I was terrified and hyperventilating. The instructor kept me calm and didn't get agitated at all. He stayed with me and assured I would be fine. Finally, I went down and eventually was so comfortable I was able to go off on my own! He was very interactive and pointed out things we wouldn't have noticed. Even let us hold a few things. I would highly recommend this company and am thankful for the instructor that we had!!

When I showed up for my dive with Down Under Diving, I wasn't aware that they had cancelled due to "poor conditions." However, when I arrived, Dylan from Watersport Adventures was at Koloa Point, and he had a no-show diver. So I stayed and had two dives with him and some others. The other divers were completely new to scuba. I am certified, but I'm still a beginner. All that being said, Dylan welcomed me to dive with him, and it was great!!! He gave a very thorough overview/review of the important rules, and he stayed with each of us until we were comfortable. Had a wonderful time and felt extremely confident under his care. Definitely recommend working with them, whether you're an experienced diver OR if you're a beginner. Worth every penny and then some!

We had an introduction lesson with Gregg this afternoon at Westin Princeville today.
We have an 11 yo autistic son who was afraid of putting his face in the water. Within 10 minutes he had my son snorkeling in the pool with a noodle by himself. My son spent the next hour plus snorkeling. Thank you Gregg

I wasn't sure if I was going to write a review on here or not seeing that we did our dive a few weeks ago but I felt I owed it to other divers. We went on a dive with this company under the instruction of a guy named Benjamin. When we met up with him he seemed a little strange but my girlfriend and I thought maybe he was just odd. We went for our dive and he was very in attentive going off on his own and leaving us to ourselves. This was my girlfriends first dive and she was nervous as it was. Our dive was shorter than it was supposed to be and we were a bit disappointed but didn't say anything and continued to be nice. He talked to us about tipping which we thought was rude. To top it off he asked us if we wanted to hang out later and offered us marijuana. We began to understand why he was acting so strange! In any event I decided to post this because I think it's dangerous for this guy to be taking people out on dives under the influence and it was unprofessional of him to try to connect with us afterward. We come to Kauai every year and we were so dissatisfied. If I were his boss I would be drug testing to ensure the quality of people working for him.

We had such a wonderful morning doing 2 shore dives with Cassie and Greg! They are so knowledgeable, patient, fun - as well as very conscientious of the environment... read more and safety! We had such a great experience in the water seeing all sorts of fish! Would highly recommend them to beginners as well as advanced divers. It was probably the highlight of our trip to Kauai!!

Watersports Adventures gave a class at the hotel we were staying at.
After an hour of instruction in the pool w/ Gregg, we decided to take the dive... read more and go in the ocean. With clear instructions and the feeling of being safe, the 3 of us (including a 10 year old child) were able to successfully dive off the shore of Koloa a few days later!!
If it weren’t for my hesitation, I think we could have gone to as deep as 40 feet! (I think we went down 10-15 feet). We saw many fish, turtles and even an octopus!!
I’d definitely recommend Cassie and Gregg at Watersports Adventures and will look them up again when we come back to Kauai and try diving again! I think we are hooked!
Side note- you are not allowed to fly until about 24 hours after diving (due to nitrogen in the blood from diving) so book your diving trip early on in your trip!

Greg Winston did a great job of reintroducing me to Scuba (I was certified in 1985 and logged over 150 dives around the world...but nothing since 2000). Friendly, knowledgeable,... read more and I love the 4 diver per dive master ratio they maintain. Highly recommended.

I went on a two-tank shore dive with Cassie July 22...our dive site was Koloa Landing. Both Cassie and the dive site were outstanding! Cassie's dive plan review was so... read more interesting...she covered some basic info in a way that was so informative. I've been diving since 1994...I think Cassie's dive plan was the best review I have ever experienced. There were only four divers in the group...I really appreciated the fact that they kept the group small and with similar experience. Cassie did such a great job of getting our attention and pointing out things of interest. We saw a frogfish, a lot of turtles, a zebra moray, a pepper moray, a snowflake moray, Hawaiian damselfish, an octopus, nudi eggs and a dragon moray. She kept the pace of both dives slow, relaxed and easy. I hope we return to Kauai some day and when we do, I will definitely be booking with Watersports Adventures! More
