Belize Island Divers made our certification experience exceptional. Our Captain, Jose, and Instructor, MJ, were clear with instructions, professional, and provided a personalized experience. They made a daunting new activity approachable and fun. I would definitely use them again.

Came to San Pedro specifically for scuba diving not knowing what to expect. I can say my expectations were exceeded!

Everyone at the dive shop is so welcoming and makes you feel part of the family! The instructors take their time with helping you in any way that they can. They are patient and knowledgeable.

Big shoutout to Esrom for helping me through each step of my certification! He explains things so well and in ways that anyone can understand! He’s got a good sense of humour that keeps you engaged! Highly recommended him when getting your certification!

Overall a 10/10 experience and I would suggest throwing in a night dive if you’re feeling brave!

Myself and my partner booked a multi day scuba refresher package through this company and we are extremely happy that we did. Everyone that works at Scuba School is very friendly and professional. Their scuba instructors make you feel safe and comfortable. Great location just down the beach from where we stayed and the prices of their packages were very well priced! I would book with them again for sure!

Amazing experience with SSFDC in San Pedro! The staff was great, funny, and very laid back, but we could also tell they would keep us safe. It was so great we went back a second day in a row! I did a dive with Sam and Josh, which was awesome. We also had Omar on our boat and he led the snorkelers the first day. The second day Omar and Logan were on our boat. Logan was a great snorkel guide, very knowledgeable and experienced, also so funny! I would absolutely come back and dive with Scuba School again. The Hol Chan dive/snorkel combo is perfect for groups or families who are not all divers. Thank you, SSFDC team!!

My 8 yr old did their intro to diving bubble maker course and loved it. Her instructor Aldemaro was great! He taught her all of the skills she needed to pass off to go out to the reef. He was very cute and patient with the kids and they trusted him. She had such a great day!

SCUBA School in Belize was unforgettable — I felt completely safe with the gears we used from them and well cared for throughout the entire journey, from leaving the dock to coming back. The energy and enthusiasm made every dive exciting, and they helped us create long lasting underwater memories. Belize’s beauty underwater is unmatched, and this team truly enhanced the experience. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Ambergris Caye, whether you’re new to diving or you’ve had experiences!
