We went to the Blue Hole despite being a little tentative because of the bad reviews. We were able to get a spot on the trip last minute with no problem. It is a long ride to get there but the boat is nice, the provided breakfast and lunch are great, and so was the staff and other divers. The... More

I have done a lot of diving abroad. This average dive shop is not the place to go to meet people. Everyone, including the dive masters, seemed uninterested. Dives to the Blue Hole only occur once a week and are quite pricy. The dive masters are great divers but I found a lot of the diving boring. Budget lodging is... More

These guys don't mess around on their Blue Hole trips, they get you out there and diving just according to plan. Their boat is beautiful and perfectly equipped for the 12 hour sprints to the dive sites and back. Don't let the all business passage to the Hole fool you, when it's time do dive its all about a good... More

Amigos Del Mar was excellent. We worked with the company to receive our certifcation, and I feel that I could not have had a better experience anywhere else. The guides were wonderful, helpful, kind, and conscious of safety, health, and limitations. I would greatfully use this company again for my diving needs in Belize!

We took a group of 12 secondary students and 4 staff members on a dive trip to Ambergris. We had 9 divers who needed open water certification, and Amigos provided excellent training. Our other divers joined their daily dive options, and we all had a wonderful time. The dive staff, boat drivers and dive guides, were exceptional. One dive guide,... More

This winter marked my third trip to San Pedro, and my third time diving with Amigo's. I've read some of the negative reviews that preceded, but can't attest to any similar experiences over 4 years and 50 or so dives with the company. As dive shops go, this is one of the best in my experience, and Tony & Rene... More

From the reviews, I expected more. The dive op was mostly about merchandising hundreds of T-shirts. The price per dive location changed, and the "coupon" was worthless. On my first dive, I had to recover another diver's weight belt as I watched from below the dive master was trying to get a novice diver down by putting weight in his... More

Two girlfriends and I went for a 1/2 day snorkeling trip and had a great time. Our guide was Edgar and he was knowledgeable, helpful and funny! It was our first time snorkeling for 2 of us and Edgar effectively explained what to do. There was an abundance of fish and Edgar was able to name all of them. We... More

We just got back from Belize and we were forced by Ramons Village to do the blue hole trip with these guys. The day started out by being rushed onto the boat, got a rude and very crass boat briefing by the captain. Finally underway to the blue hole we get to dive number 1 at the aquarium which is... More

Over the past 20 years I have dived all over the world and have had generally good experiance with all the past dive shops that I have used. On this trip I had my two young daughters (10 and 13) completing their open water certification and wanted the best operation I could find. In the past if I'm not familiar... More
