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 KremanMy husband and I did 2 shore dives with Cassie and Greg - who are so knowledgeable, eco-friendly and lots of fun! This is our 4th time diving with them. Highly recommend!!

Todd CandeeGreg was awesome and so was the dive! As a certified diver, diving with my uncertified girlfriend was still a lot of fun and he took really good care of her.
Matt PowellCassie was a great guide and provided a fantastic refresher dive for my girlfriend and me (we hadn't dived for about 5 years). We saw some huge rays, it was a really great experience!

My teen daughter, husband and I dove on Thanksgiving morning with Wayne on the south shore. Only my daughter and I had dove before but it was in a swimming pool 4 years ago! Haha! Wayne was amazing with training us, calming us down and then having us hang on to him as he took us down into a beautiful reef 40' down. The experience was life changing. We saw so much marine life it made both my family and I have a new appreciation for what lies in the sea. This is one thing in Kauai'i we will always come back and do! For someone looking for a great family experience, here would be the place to go! Wayne rocks! Mahalo!

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!

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.

What a fabulous day! We chartered the boat for a ride along the Na Pali Coast. Gregg and Kumua could not have been more accommodating, fun, and informative. We experienced dolphins, up close and so graceful, explored sea caves, did some snorkeling, and had an exhilarating, wet and wild, fast, bumpy, crazy, laughing all the way return after a thorough soaking under a waterfall. As another reviewer, we felt safe and secure and genuinely cared for on this experience.

Went diving with Cassie! She was a great instructor, we were able to see many sea turtles and go at our own pace. Highly recommend diving with Watersports Adventures!!

My friend and I decided to try the Intro to Scuba excursion that was offered. We both had never been scuba diving and were a bit apprehensive. Luckily, we had taken a poolside scuba lesson, which made us more at ease with the equipment. Our excursion was located at Koloa Landing and we had 2 friendly instructors named Cassie and Wayne. Overall, for someone that is deathly afraid of the ocean and can't swim well, I had a great time and never felt scared. Would definitely do again if I return to the island.
