Great Tour, Lots to see, Beatiful caye, Mar was a great tour guide! Highly recommend - We had an amazing time and my wife was more impressed with this tour than the hol chan tours we did. Lots of corals, lots of fish, some nurse shark and more. Mar was our guide and she did a great job taking care of us. The winds were bad so we had to stay to the inside of the caye to avoid the choppy water, but we still had an amazing time. Mar was very knowlegeable and shared so much information with us. They also provided a wonderful lunch for us. We will definately be doing more tours with Splash Dive Center and would be happy if Mar was our guide again.

Great family experience - We did snorkeled at Laughing Bird Caye and the entire experience was wonderful. We took our 11 year old son who isn’t a strong swimmer and he did great. This was his favorite part of our trip to Belize.

Professional, knowledgeable, and safety 1st diving center! - I was going to do whale shark tour but Mrs. Capeling advised because of my age it might be too strenuous . I’m glad she did because we dove SilkCaye area and it was great , saw moray eel, octopus, nurse sharks, lion fish,giant Loggerhead turtle next to the boat watching us as fun and Deuce was my guide divemaster . He knew every fish and plant life name which was great.All of the crew from Captain to dive masters were very professional and entertaining. They helped me get off and on the boat safely. We had a great chicken lunch with fruit punch on the Wildlife Preserve Island . If you want to be in good hands with people you can trust with your safety and have fun too use Splash Dive Center!

Awesome staff and adventure - My experience with the Splash Dive was fantastic. The entire crew was super friendly and fun, but special shout out to Ulises who guided my snorkel session. He was so knowledgeable about the sea life, and was such a genuinely kind and friendly person. I really enjoyed my day with them, thank you!

Belize Reef Snorkel Trip Only 30 Minutes From Placentia - We wanted to see and snorkel the Belize barrier reef, but didn't want to stay on the islands. This 30 minute boat ride, 6 hour trip, allowed us to do that from Placentia.
