    Great experince Diving with Kellys water sports -I went to montego bay just for the weekend for some diving and the sun (im from canada). I dove with kellys water sports on sunday Jan 29th, 2 dives. Cost was 100$ for the 2 dives and 20$ for equipment rental (BCD,Fins,Regulator,tank). -They are located inside harmony beach park, a fence and gate is around the park with one main entrance. Kellys watersports is at the north end of the park, along the end of the beach. I stopped by here the afternoon before to make sure i knew the location (google maps had incorrect location, i edited it), and kelly himself was who i ran into sitting on balcony outside the shop. -I returned the next morning at 745am, for 8 am departure. Signed dive forms, gave open water card, got fins, and put on wet suit. When ready, we walked out in the water to the boat. There was 1 other open water diver, and 3 advanced divers, plus 2 dive masters, and 1 boat captain. -We dove across the bay, where the reef meets the ocean. 5-10 min boat ride, water didnt seem rough. I was paired with the other open water diver and a dive master, and the other 3 went with the other dive master. The 2 groups went seperate ways but met up before we surfaced. The second dive we went as one big group. -There was not tones of fish, we did see some colorful ones (blue and red and yellows), there was some big crabs, we saw 1 barracuda, and many lion fish. There was lots of plant life on the reef, but not very colorful, but some interesting corals. Some crab fishing cages too. -They asked us if we were ok with them hunting lion fish, they mentioned they were poisonous, as i know, so i though it was for our protection. But i looked more into it later and was reminded that they are a invasive species and that hunting them helps protect the native life. I wish they had mentioned that. -I did get sea sick 2 times during the trip, but i am still new to boats and diving, and I think I am overly sensitive to the boats movements, i am learning, and future dives i will take sea sick pills. No one else had a problem with the boat. -The 2 dive masters were great, Risshan (i am 100% sure i spelt it wrong) was my instructor and the hunter, and Che (again probilly wrong spelling) was the other, she was very friendly and chatty which was great. They set up all our gear before the dives, and watched us under water. Overall, a great dive experience for the day, i would definatly return and dive with them again or get some more certification. *like this review below if the info helps*

    Kelly’s Watersports is the premier diving outfit in Montego Bay. They start early, are located close to the dive sites, and have professional staff. I did two days of 2-tank dives with them. On the second day, our divemaster hunted some lionfish and we got to watch and assist. Highly recommend them if you’re diving in the area!

    I’ve dove all over the world and had the opportunity to meet the Kelly’s this time. The experience was fantastic as we had two people that had completed their course work and needed to do their skills and open water dives to gain full certification. Dwayne and DaShawn(sp) were comical, polite and just all around great dive instructors! I’d highly recommend reaching out for whatever your water sport needs are. We will definitely be coming back and diving with them again.

    Kelly and her crew are very cool! I forgot my snorkeling buddy name but he was very professional and I can tell he cared about my health and safety as he kept looking behind him to make sure I was okay! Thank you so much! Will be back here when in Montego Bay 🙏🏽

    The beginner diving lesson with Kelly himself was awesome! It was my first diving experience and i felt very safe with his instructions. After my first dive I even decided to do the open water PADI certificate with him. Highly recommend! Thank you guys!

    We recently Scuba dove with Kellys. The service was easy to communicate via WhatsApp. The pricing was fair, exactly what was published online. They provided round-trip transport from our hotel. We dove over two days (3 tanks first day, and 2 tanks on our second day). Their boat is at their own private dock, so once you arrive at the dive shop, you are there and ready to go. The boat is very clean and nice, large enough to give everyone their own space. The water was very calm, like glass for us, so zero fighting currents while diving and zero bumpy boat ride. For diving, the visibility was maybe 60 feet (not scientific) and was pretty clear. We did 70, 45, 40 foot dives and we enjoyed them all. They had fresh bottled water on the boat but no snacks between dives. Usually, an operator brings oranges or some fruit between dives. If you want this, maybe ask in advance (we didn't) or bring your own. Also, there is a changing room, but no toilet. The toilet is across the park, we chose to wait for the hotel. This feels like a small family owned shop with Mrs and Mr Kelly. Photos to show the glass water. Literally perfect water.

    Fantastic experience. We went diving here and were well taken care of. They had all the equipment we could rent so we didn’t have to fly any of ours there. We had signed up for a single tank dive and she asked if we wanted to do two dives (two tanks) we were able to add that the day of the dive. We had a great dive master and would definitely come again. Loved that we could arrange round trip transportation with the dive shop.

    Just left Kelley’s Water Sports. Amazing with a capital A; the snorkeling team of Kemal and Sheena very observant and attentive to my wife and our party. Parasailing with Captain Lucci and his entertaining partner was so great I asked my wife to marry me again. I would do it again tomorrow if I had a chance.

    We had a great time with Lucci and his assistant last time we were in Jamaica. When we booked some excursions through this company, we were greeted at our hotel by Mr. McCoy who ended up being a really great guide. All of the excursions we purchased through here went really well and our kids had a blast! Lucci and his assistant were really good with our children and we will definitely book with them again on our next go around. Thanks guys!

    Great experience! We took the PADI open water checkouts with Kelly and his dive master. They are friendly, patient and knowledgeable. We always felt comfortable and safe. Kelly was very thorough in following the PADI guidelines and to help us improving our skills. We visited some wonderful underwater sites. We also went for two dives with them and it was a very good experience as well.

    Had a really great experience getting my open water dive certificate with Kellys Watersports. Clifford Kelly has a wealth of dive knowledge and experience teaching you how to dive. He paid very close attention to all the details and made it an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend this dive outfitter. Cliff and team, Thank you!

    12/6/22 Kelly was very hospitable, They treated us well. My friend and I did the parasailing and I personally did the snorkeling and it was amazing! Met a wonderful couple that joined me snorkeling. The visuals were breathtaking this was my 1st time doing snorkeling and Im definitely going to do it again. If im ever in Jamaica this is going to be my home away from home Thanks to Kelly and Lucci ❤ Tae Jersey girls

    We had a truly wonderful snorkeling experience with Kelly's watersports. It was easy to set up and Netty was very responsive. We took a group of 6 adults and 3 kids; at first there wasn't much to see, but the guides directed us over the coral and it was truly magnificent. Like entering a whole different world. I think it blew the children's minds! The whole crew was friendly and helpful and when my son accidentally left his shoes on the beach, Netty even drove the shoes back to our hotel. Thank you for a great experience!

    I had a great time with my family at Kelly Water Sports. The staff is very kind and curious. Thank you Chris and Lucci for making our experience here memorable and special. I recommend this service to people who enjoy water sports and other outside activities!

    We had a wonderful time on a 90 min snorkeling trip with Kelly’s. Kelly and her staff were very professional and flexible! They guys, Alrick and Foot, took us to a place were the corral was still in decent shape and we saw tons of fish. I definitely recommend this team for snorkeling.

  • 5/5 Dave J. 1 year ago on Google
    Small shop, BIG on service, hospitality and a great time. Took a snorkeling trip and it was absolutely gorgeous, fun, and inexpensive. Great local hosts, and I would highly recommend them for your trip. Next time I'm in Jamaica, they've earned my business! Great job Mon!

  • 5/5 Kaela S. 1 year ago on Google
    We went scuba diving twice with Kelly’s Water Sports during our trip. We had such a great time, the staff was so friendly. We saw a lot of coral and beautiful marine life. We brought another couple with us that has never dove before, they did the discover dive & the instructors were so patient and helpful to our friends!

  • 5/5 ern k. 5 years ago on Google
    Great dives plenty of colorful wildlife to see watched the DM catch a few lion fish which is a invasive species there and got to see a few stingrays. Was pretty convenient since it was right at the hotel we stayed.

  • 5/5 Ronda E. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience parasailing. The crew was so friendly and the boat was very clean! The driver they supplied to pick us up at our hotel was friendly and professional. He told us a lot about the island. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

  • 5/5 Javier R. 1 year ago on Google
    Organized dive center. I’m a certified diver and went for three dives. My friend did the discover scuba and joined me for one of them. Warm water and pretty good visibility. Support local businesses and dive here.

  • 5/5 tobi h. 1 year ago on Google
    I would give more stars if possible. Great diving. Very knowledgeable and patient instructors. Beautiful marine life. How to find it if you come by foot: Enter harmony beach and go all the way to the right. You see a diving flag. Right now, they still have the new location under construction. Don't be fooled by the construction site. It is still a very professionaly diving operation.

  • 5/5 Tameeca G. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a wonderful experience. Randy and Lucci were professional and friendly. Granny, Tim and I loved it.

  • 5/5 Kim H. 1 year ago on Google
    While on vacation in Jamaica 6 of us girls wanted to scuba dive. Three had done it before three of us had never scuba dived or snorkeled. The instructor was great. He was patient with all of us. The dive was amazing. I never felt nervous or anxious. Best experience ever and would definitely recommend Kelly's Watersports. Thanks guys for the amazing experience. North Carolina Girls

  • 5/5 Caron C. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a great time on the boat. My sister only liked snorkeling but I like scuba and we didn't want different tours. These guys kept us together and we had a blast looking at coral's and other marine life.

  • 5/5 Marvin The M. 7 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Scheduled 2 scuba dives on short notice and had a great time. The operation is organized, knowledgeable and everyone was very friendly and helpful. The pickup shuttle was slightly delayed in traffic but showed up ASAP and picked me up for a short 90ft dive and long 25ft dive along shallow reefs. The dive leader was wonderful and was very knowledgeable about local wild life and routes where we would be most likely to see them. During the dive she pointed out several small sea creatures that we would have missed including very tiny shrimp and a baby ray. I highly recommend this business.

👍👍 The sunset cruise was great! Ms. Charlene took really good care of all 9 of us. It initially was being canceled due to weather, but after the weather cleared we went and had the best time. They even extended our tour so we wouldn’t miss anything! The drinks aren’t the best so I do suggest maybe brin...

🫤 The Ricks Cafe and scuba snorkeling at Motego Bay in Jamaica is not worth at all. They sold the trip with all these fun activities but in reality you see some bats and go to a very crowded Ricks Cafe. They transfer you from one boat to another and they started yelling as people were afraid to move...
