We completed our certification at this dive shop which was next door to our resort (Las Terrazas) and it was a very good experience. The Dive Master (Sam) wasn't the most talkative or friendly person we ever met but he knew his stuff. We spent three days diving with this shop and would have dived a fourth day if the... More

I was in Belize April 22-29th. It was a trip of a lifetime. One of the highlights of the trip was snorkeling with Pedro from White Sands Dive Shop! Pedro was professional, attentive and very patient with me. I was a reluctant snorkeler to begin with, but Pedro put all my fears to rest! It was the most amazing experience!... More

Our guide Carlos was funny and patient with our 10 year old. We went reef fishing with Tony. He patiently baited my fishing rod,... More

While @ Las Terrazzaz resort my wife got certified here, was great service, more then knowledgeable staff, and quite flexible to work around our schedule and fit into the plans we had. Had a great time and would dive with them again. The equipment is all in good shape and taken care of and safety was never a fear or... More

Our experience with White Sands was great! Ian, Luis, and Pedro were always on time, and sometimes early, when picking us up from our dock (for free – most dive shops in town charged extra since we were staying on the north side). This is almost unheard of in most other Caribbean countries I’ve visted. We met Elbert the owner,... More

My 19 year old son and I did 6 dives with White Sands. Dive Master Sam did a great job. Dive sites were great, would use them again. More

My husband and I stopped into White Sands while taking a run on the beach. We were both very impressed with the friendly and knowledgeable staff and decided to book them for a refresh dive for my husband and a discovery dive for me. Sam was a great instructor and really made me feel at ease with both the in... More

My family and I recently ventured to Ambergris Caye for a dive trip and landed on White Sands Dive Shop. Despite its humble appearances, this vibrant dive shop is filled with superbly competent staff and dive masters. I was thoroughly impressed with the efficiency with which the shop was run, as well as the superb variety of dives. Even if... More
