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!!!!

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.

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!

This is an excellent scuba experience for beginners. My wife and I had never been scuba diving before, and Wayne and Derek made us feel safe and at home. It was clear that this place's first focus is on safety. Derek went through a maybe 45-minute introduction before we even hit the water, explaining how the gear worked, going through hand signs, and talking through how to ascend and descend safely. I was especially impressed by their perfect safety record over some 30 years of operation.
Once we got in the water, the safety precautions continued, with all of us holding onto Wayne's arms at first, and each other's hands later.
The views were amazing, with at least two turtles and many schools of tropical fish. And it was really, really cool to be able to breathe underwater! If I ever visit Kauai again, I'm definitely going back to these guys.

Last week, we had an incredible introduction to snorkeling and scuba for my whole family! Our guide Wayne was confident, thoughtful and kind. He had my 66 year old mom hold onto his arm to safely lead her through the slippery ramp to the water. He entertained my 9 year old son in his first snorkeling adventure, with some tricks and small lessons. He warned us all about navigating the rocks and other small hazards. We had two experienced snorkelers and two beginners in our group, and everyone had a great time seeing sea turtles and dozens of species of fish very close up!
Wayne also led me on my first scuba diving experience right after the snorkel, and offered to have me hold onto his arm during the dive. But he eased up when he saw how well I was handling it. He was always close at hand and available, but not interfering with my exploration. He also attended to some more experienced scuba divers who joined for this dive. Perfect!
This robust safety and customer service approach seems to be the legacy of Gregg Weston, owner of Watersports, who has been teaching snorkeling on Kauai for 20+ years. I first met him at a group orientation and group snorkeling intro at the Wyndham Bali Hai Villas Resort, and I was a little put off by his showmanship. But in one-on-one conversation, it became clear that his passion for safety and a fun experience for his customers runs deep. The chant his daughter performed in the native Hawaiian language at the Wyndham orientation was spellbinding! I'm thankful for this wonderful experience and would recommend these guides to anyone, especially people who are trying snorkeling or scuba for the first time. Be sure to check that you have specific directions to your site the day before. The staff at Wayersports Adventures did, of course, text us the directions when we called them en route because we had forgotten the directions we had. Great service! Can't wait to go again some day!

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!!

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!!

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
