Amigos Del Mar Tour Center

Eh! Not impressed at all. Went with this place due to the high ratings here on Google Maps, however, it fell WAY short. Their communications via WhatsApp to answer simple questions took DAYS. Their service & demeanor while at the shop was, let's just say, underwhelming...Not the best customer service out there. & NO bathrooms in the premises! We also felt our captain & dive master (on these photos attached) were not very professional. They were just extremely casual about things & lacked the seriousness & professionalism you find in other shops. The dive master gave us the feeling he had a "power trip" superiority complex & wasn't very approachable. We visited a different shop the day after to go to Tackle Box & Esmeralda, & it was like day & night...in contrast, they were super pleasant & professional. Also, the dive master was applying some kind of dish wash detergent to everyone's masks to keep them from fogging, however, he didn't rinse the soap as he should on my mask, which caused my eyes to burn like HELL, for most of the dive, once water got inside the mask! It really put a damper in my diving experience. Additionally, the whole snorkeling with the nurse sharks at Shark Alley was beyond anticlimactic, underwhelming & short. We thought that stop was supposed to be much longer than the mere 10 minutes we were there! Finally, the air on the tanks wasn't the best. My diving buddy could taste something foul when he inhaled from his reg, an oily taste, & he ended up with a massive headache at the end of our Hol Chan dive. My diving buddy is a divemaster himself with DECADES of experience under his belt, so he knows what he's talking about. We definitely would not use Amigos Del Mar again for our diving needs, nor would we recommend it to others.

Amigos Del Mar is an awesome company and I highly recommend them! I am very new to scuba, this was my first experience since getting certified. We did a 4 day 2 tank dive package and then their combo Hol Chan dive and snorkel at Shark Ray Alley. It was truly all amazing! Stephanie at the front desk was super kind and helpful when I spoke with her about getting dives set up. On the first day was the Hol Chan combo dive and Birdman was great. He had a lot of knowledge and helped me with my new goggles so they would stop fogging up! No issues afterward! For our 4 day 2 tank dive, our Captain was Renee and dive master was Samir. They were wonderful. They got to know what my partner and I needed and had so many good tips for air use, sea sickness, buoyancy, and control. They really ensured that each of us was safe and having the best experience possible. I loved coming back to the dock for 45 minutes between dives, made a big difference for sea sickness too. They had really tasty fresh coconut and watermelon always waiting for us to snack on between dives. Samir was so great at finding various marine life and getting us where we all could see and experience it. He got us all able to see a Hawksbill turtle! It was beautiful! We saw so many different types of fish and coral. One day two nurse sharks started the dive with us and stayed with us the entire time! It was incredible, they are so curious! The last day was a once in a lifetime experience. We were met by a pod of 5 bottlenose dolphins who played and swam around us!! Truly a dream come true! This is such a great company with so many kind and knowledgeable staff. They remember you when they see you from day to day which is so lovely. And we were able to store our gear there overnight to dry so they could also rinse it and have it ready for us when we arrived each morning. So nice to not have to pack that to our hotel and back each day! Thank you Amigos Del Mar for an unforgettable experience. We can’t wait to come back!

We had the best experience with Amigos Del Mar! We are newish divers and though we were not there for any certification classes, they still helped us with our skills and equipment because they truly cared about us and wanted us to have the best experience. They gave us so many tips to help us improve our buoyancy control, air consumption and even sea sickness. By the end of 5 days we had improved our diving skills tremendously. And my partner who typically gets very sea sick, did much better because the dive masters and captains gave suggestions and made sure we could maximize our time under the waves. Birdman was our first dive master and he was very lovely and took us on a great first dive at Hol Chan where we saw so much wildlife, including a moray eel, schools of fish, three sea turtles, rays and others. Most of the rest of our dives we had Samir as our dive master and Renee as our boat captain. Renee was the most helpful dive captain I have ever met. He gave such a thorough run through before our dives that made everything go so smoothly and efficiently. Diving with Samir was a delight! He has a way with the wildlife! It is like all the sea critters know him and trust him. Without harassing the animals he would somehow guide them over to meet us like introducing friends. It made for some special experiences! We got wonderful experiences with nurse sharks, Caribbean reef sharks, a hawksbill sea turtle, moray eels, lobsters, many different fish. And on our last dive we got so lucky and came across a pod of bottlenose dolphins. Samir started playing with them and they played back with the whole dive group! It was a once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget! We spent 5 days diving with them and they rinsed and stored our personal equipment between dive days and had it ready for us the next morning which was so very nice. We can’t wait to come back and dive with them again!

We did a snorkel tour to the Blue Hole, Half Moon Caye and The Aquarium. Great service and the crew was amazing. Tour on time and with a great service and friendship. Good amazing. Alex help us in the snorkel 🤿 trip and explained very well all the details. Thanks Amigos Del Mar!!! 🌊

We had an amazing time snorkeling Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley with Amigos Del Mar! Chris and Edelweiss were not only great guides but also awesome photographers and DJs, which made the trip so fun and personable. Chris was funny and so knowledgeable about the history and all the marine life, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

Chris is the best tour guide ever! Super safe, fun, and incredibly thrilling. Amigos Del Mar is super easy to make reservations, check in, and guide you. We went on the snorkeling tour and it was perfect. We saw barracuda, eagle rays, nurse sharks, and schools of fish and large coral structures. Couldn't have been a better trip.

I was extremely impressed by the boat crew that took on our day long blue hole adventure. A special shout out to John, Imar, Marciano, Eldo, Andreas, and Vlad. Their professionalism was impressive, and their comrodary between themselves really was reflective of the gentile spirit and playfulness of the Belizian people.

All of the staff at Amigos Del Mar are amazing! From the front office to the DM's and the boat captains. This was my first time scuba diving with them and I felt like part of their dive family right away. They know all of the best dive sites and do a fantastic job on the pre-dive briefing and picking the best spot for the conditions. They are also one of the best companies I have dove with managing the different experience and ability levels of the divers on the boat. They do an amazing job of giving everyone the best dive experience possible while maintaining a high level of safety. I'm already planning my next trip with them.
