A great firm for snorkeling trips - We had a wonderful half day morning trip with Marvin and Kyle as guides. They were patient, professional yet fun, and did a great job corralling us and keeping us together even when another group crossed paths with our group. They did a great job pointing out rays, various fish, corals, and shared an overview of the history of Belize. The office staff were also great to work with.

Thrill of a lifetime - MUST MUST MUST! At Hol-Chan we saw a flotilla of eagle rays, sting rays, tarapin, and every fish you can imagine. Sgt majors, tangs, parrot fish, squirrel fish, it was incredible. We did this excursion with Pro Dive Belize and it was magical, and then they took us to shark ray alley and my mind was blown. They through chum in the water and suddenly the boat was surrounded by nurse sharks and rays. You have to jump in and pray that they're satisfied with their food, and when you do, it's so worth it. We had two 7 yr olds and they jumped in like champs. The sharks are huge and swim under you,, next to you and all around but never touch you. It's scary and thrilling and a must do.

We can’t say enough about... - We can’t say enough about Marvin! He was the best. He helped make this one of the best snorkelling experiences we’ve ever had. Swimming with the sharks was incredible! He was attentive, helpful, funny and knowledgeable. Such a great time!

Would do it again! - I came with my boyfriend, best friend and her husband. The location was easy to find, just type in the address and then water towards the water, there office is right on the water/dock. They counted the group, gave us our snorkel gear and loaded the boat. The ride was fun and bumpy for about 10 mins. Our tour guides were Marvin and Nick. We had an Incredible time! Both were super funny and made us feel safe and made sure we had a great time! We got to see small and Medium fish, Barrakudas, nurse sharks, sea turtles, and sting rays. The current was pretty strong but there were other groups out snorkeling and we never lost our tour guide he kept making sure we were all okay and stayed close by but also gave us space to venture close by if we wanted to. Both were very informative about the marine life and we had a great day! My group and I did a half day snorkel and it was fun, and we feel as if it was enough for the day :) Thank you Marvin and Nick! P.S some of us in our group are not in the best shape and we found this tour to be do-able. Do it!

So many fish, so little time! - Very knowledge, safe and fun! The guides were great and worked well with my two very excited teenage boys. There were two other young boys on the trip and they had a blast as well.
