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!
We just did a two-week dive trip to Belize and spent close to a week of it with Scuba School. They have a great reputation and came highly recommended. We had consistently positive experiences and all of the staff were great.
The one thing I think worth mentioning is that Scuba School does cater to more novice divers, as the name suggests. But their safety is fantastic and they took us to great diving.
Huge thanks to Scuba School and everyone there - Seleny, Rose, Lindo, Chris, Esrom, Oscar, Logan, Nairo, and all the rest (sorry if I forgot some names)!
We have dove in several countries and this is our first trip to Belize; we will certainly dive with Scuba School when we return. The staff and crew are outstanding! We found them to be very conscientious, kind and helpful. We dove with them for 4 days, always finding the same level of safety commitment and hospitality no matter who was leading the dive.
The prices are very fair, including their rental equipment, which we found to be in great condition.
Big shout out to Captain Nairo, oftentimes the boat captain doesn't get enough credit. He did an outstanding job of carefully navigating high waves on two of the days, and we very much appreciated his attention to detail.
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!
Scuba 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!
Lindo and damien were great navigators and guides
MJ 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.
Amazing Experience at Scuba School & Family Dive Center!
Our experience at Scuba School & Family Dive Center was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed by the friendly and knowledgeable staff. They made sure we were comfortable every step of the way, emphasizing safety while keeping the experience fun and exciting.
The instructors are patient, professional, and truly passionate about diving. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced diver, they cater to all skill levels and ensure everyone feels confident in the water. The equipment was top-notch, and the entire experience felt incredibly safe.
This is the perfect place for families, couples, or solo adventurers looking to explore the underwater world in a fun and relaxed environment. We had an unforgettable time and can’t wait to come back for more dives! Highly recommend!
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!!
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!
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!
The 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.
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!
Had an awesome time with Scuba School and the entire crew there! Highly recommend
Best, 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!
