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.

My girlfriend and I were visiting Kauai for the first time just before Thanksgiving 2011. We did a bunch a snorkeling on our own around the island and had a great time. Towards the end of our trip, Gregg visited our hotel to plug his company (during a meeting where several vendors were presenting to us). As soon as the presentation was over, we booked an intro to SCUBA trip for the next morning.
We had Wayne as our instructor and he was awesome. We got lucky and had a private session with him. When we got in the water, my girlfriend started to panic because of who knows what but Wayne was able to talk her down pretty easily and get her under that surface. She ended up having a great time and can't stop talking about how fun it was! He was so knowledgable and patient - he showed us all around, pointing out turtles, eels, etc.
Highly highly recommend this company, and especially Wayne. We went in Nov when the water around the island is generally murkier than in the summer so I guess it's even better then. We had fun though!

This was the best private charter of the Napali Coast I've done so far. Gregg and Troy are experienced watermen who have spent their entire lives on the ocean and definitely emphasize safety above all else. We had the boat to ourselves - 7 of us not including the crew fit very comfortably- and it was not crammed with dozens of other tourists like other tours I've done. It's also not the kind of boat that will get you seasick. We left out of Hanalei in the morning, toured the coast, went to a secluded beach and took a very short hike to an epic waterfall, and then headed back by early afternoon - perfect way to spend a half day. Wonderful experience, thanks guys!

What an amazing experience scuba diving at Tunnels on Kauai! Wayne was our instructor and he was top notch. We gave us a thorough introduction because we hadn't been diving in about 3 years. I was a bit nervous before getting in the water, but that longer introduction calmed me down. We dove with Wayne and one other guest from the Westin in Princeville and it was an awesome, personal experience. We loved exploring the caverns! Wayne showed us sharks, eels, turtles, sea slugs, and tons of fish. Thanks for everything, Wayne!

What an experience! We have been to Kauai on several occasions and have never had an experience like this. We feel so lucky to have bumped into Greg and his team at our hotel when he shared with us the great adventures they offer along the North Shore of Kauai. The service was unlike any adventure I've ever had in an excursion and was beyond worth doing on out last day on the island, first thing in the morning. I can't wait to do it again the next time we visit! Cheers guys, to an fantastic and unforgettable experience!

Beware - Poor equipment checking and a bad attitude. After a nice sales pitch at the Westin Princeville, we unfortunately booked with this company. I was hoping for my son and I to have a good first scuba experience. Unfortunately it was frightening and stressful event due to unchecked equipment that likely had failed well prior to the dive and failed again on my dive. This has turned me off on scuba. The initial response from the instructor was to blame the guest. Don't risk your precious Kauai time with this outfit.

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.

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
