Scuba School And Family Dive Center Belize WINNER – TOUR OPERATOR OF THE YEAR 2023
It’s official, from over 300 nominees, and the ONLY dive operator from Ambergris Caye; we are proud and honored to be bestowed the coveted “TOUR OPERATOR OF THE YEAR 2023” award. Presented by the Belize Tourism Board.
I spent 10 days in Belize and went on 13 (!) dives with the Scuba School crew and all I can say is by the end I left not only with the greatest memories and knowledge of diving, but friends as well! They made me feel like part of their crew and made sure to look after my safety while also ensuring I had a great time exploring all that the reef had to offer. I did 3 certifications with Scuba School and dove with every dive master… so major shout out to MJ, Esrom, Sam, Amaro, and Logan. And to our fearless captain Nairo! And of course the wonderful ladies up front who kept everything organized… thank you for one of the greatest experiences :) ❤️ I wish I could give more than 5 stars because this shop is worth it!
ExpandLindo and damien were great navigators and guides
ExpandThe dive centre was well organized, send us a reminder email and had all the dives perfectly planned. Our dive master supported my partner on her first dive and made sure we all are safe. The deeper reef dives (60’) were excellent with reef sharks, turtles and rays. For Hol Chan you can consider to only snorkel but a must do with lots of schools of fish. Night dive is shallow and you see critters you don’t see in the day. We also got our Nitrox certification at no cost from dive school.
ExpandMJ was the most patient instructor calming all my hesitation and fears. I went at the prompting of my husband who wanted to go. MJs method of ensuring you are comfortable before the next step, soft, calming positive and patient voice, reminded me of a yoga instructor. He stuck with me to make sure I was also enjoying the experience. In one afternoon I was able to enjoy my first dive in the reef which was amazing. We saw a sea turtle and so many beautiful colorful fish. Now, this initially reluctant 54 year old grandma is on her way to be Open Water PADI certified! Thank you to everyone at Scuba School and Family Dive Center (San Pedro, Ambergris Caye) for being so kind and welcoming.
ExpandSCUBA 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!
ExpandBest, Safest, and Most Fun Dive Experience!
What an amazing time at Scuba School & Family Dive Center! From the moment we arrived, MJ, Rose, Seleny, Esrom, and Logan made us feel like family. Their focus on safety was outstanding—they made sure we were completely comfortable before getting in the water, with top-notch equipment and clear instructions.
But safety didn’t mean boring—this was so much fun! The team’s energy, passion and patience made the whole experience exciting and stress-free. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced diver, you’ll feel safe, welcome and ready for adventure!
Thank you for an unforgettable dive—we can’t wait to come back!
ExpandScuba School and Family Dive Center Belize is fantastic! The dives are incredibly affordable, making them perfect for both seasoned divers and newcomers. The divemasters Logan, Lindo, and Esram are the dream team—professional, knowledgeable, and safety-focused, yet so much fun to be around. They create an unforgettable diving experience with their infectious energy and expertise. Highly recommend!
ExpandMyself 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!
ExpandCame 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!
