Not the cheapest on the island, but excellent service and everything went perfectly for our snorkeling and Lamanai trip. On Saturday, they were the only ones busy enough to have a trip to Mexican Rocks.
We booked 2 tours from Amigos Del Mar. Both were awesome. Tour guides were very knowledgeable and fun. All connections were on time to get to our destination. 2 great days
Amigos booked us in easily and were nothing short of fantastic. We were five in our group. Three divers were completing the advanced open water through padi and two were new divers completing their open water course. Alonzo our dive master scheduled the dives so that the five of us could dive as much as possible together. He is a top notch guide, calm and cool but methodical and above all safe. His pre- dive briefings instilled confidence and we knew exactly what kind of conditions we would encounter and what kind of marine life we would see. Would definitely recommend amigos and Alonzo for experienced divers and new divers alike!
The barrier reef itself is spectacular in its own way. Although not a pristine example of colourful coral, the reef is teeming with marine life and it's not hard to see nearly everything the reef has to offer. Would definitely recommend the deep dive through the canyons. There is something surreal about being 100 ft below the surface while bull and reef sharks circle overheard. 10/10 dive!

This shop did a great job of giving us a fun and safe dive. Staff was friendly. We were there during a busy week and had 12 divers to 1 dive master which was too many as simple items like air checks took too long.
Also, this is the only shop we have been to which did not have us test Nitrox tanks before putting them on the boat or even before getting in the water. That is standard procedure elsewhere.
Where to start? These guys are fantastic. Just had 2 days of diving including the Blue Hole package + some local dives. The staff, divemasters and captains are all locals, experienced, savvy and professional. My experience was top-notch and will remember this dive shop as one of the best I ve been yet. You want to dive in San Pedro? This is a safe bet.
Really great crew. Felt safe. Crew has it together.
Terrible service, took us out in a lightning storm and informed us, upon our discussing our safety concerns, “you are safe from lightning in the water”
False, lightning kills in water and travels 5-10 miles.
Dive With Ramon’s when in Belize, Ambergris-key
I’d give Amigos Dive Belieze aka Amigos Del Mar negative stars if possible.
They also charge 12.5% GST if you don’t pay cash.
I guess their customers are not the only people getting the hammer they are gouging their government too.
Amigos Del Mar a ripoff
The best dive shop in Ambergris Cay. Their large boat was able to cut through some serious chop to get us out to the Blue Hole in safety. The staff is top notch and very capable. They went out of their way to ensure the divers had fun and were safe. I'm planning an excursion for next year and I will use them exclusively!
Had a great trip to Blue Hole. Very nice staff. Trip ran very smoothly.
We did the Blue Hole trip, which included stops in Half Moon Caye and Long Caye. They provided breakfast and lunch, the lunch was even home made, including coconut pie made by one of the dive masters! We did snorkeling, and our dive master was always super helpful pointing out different sea life so we wouldn't miss anything. The stop at Half Moon Caye was really incredible for snorkeling and also has an amazing Bird Tower where you can be amongst the Red-footed Booby Bird Colony high in the trees. On our way back to San Pedro at the end of the day they also provided rum punch. The whole trip felt very safe and was definitely worth it! Highly recommended.
Don't dive with anyone else! These guys have been here the longest, and are the friendliest group of people! They know the reef, and make your trip worth the money. Dive two or more dives, and they can make deals with you to save some $$. Did the Blue Hole dive and it was awesome as well!
Safety is not their priority. My regulator broke underwater and the divemaster accused me of making it up!
He was more concerned with hunting lionfish that watching his divers!
Multiple people had problems on the dive and he didn't even notice.
The one star goes to Edgar (who really deserves 5 stars) who was amazing, but unfortunately was not the divemaster for this day! Please avoid this company! It's not worth it
From start to finish Amigos Del Mar provided us with the most perfect day for scuba diving the Blue Hole. The staff were friendly, the boat was in great condition and food/drinks were delicious. There were two divemasters scuba diving the blue hole with 7 people (low season) and this allowed the second divemaster to provide attention to anyone who need extra help while the group could continue without waiting. The other two dive sites were great, with special shout out to 'The Aquarium' which was my personal favourite! Would highly recommend this dive operator, fully professional to the end. Cheers!
Went to the great blue hole, trip was well organized, and dive masters where good, all the 3 dives where worth the trip, boat is nice big, and well equipped. Great dive sites. Would recommend going direct to amigos to dive blue hole. Fun well rounded day, included good food all day and refreshments.
