I walked straight to Frenchies because of the stellar online reviews and a few local recommendations, ready to sign up for multi-day dives. Unfortunately we and at least one other diver didn't sign up for any follow ups. The equipment is old: swimming around, I was struck that most of the people's rental wetsuits were frayed, worn off and hanging... more

I've been diving with Frenchie's on 5 different trips now and they are always on top of their game. Don't be scared off by the older equipment and small dive boats - the staff is local and top notch. They skip no steps in preparing you for your dive even making sure that you yourself set up your equipment (supervised... more

I did 2 fabulous dives with them at the Hol Chan Marine Reserve. They do what they promise unlike some other diving shops. Very good explanation and preparation of the dive. Old equipment, but it gets the job done. Excellent for a beginning diver like me. more

Having read the reviews here, I had a number of concerns about diving with Frenchie's. In particular, I was worried about safety. In fact our experience was quite good. We dove twice with Frenchie's, the first day at Hol Chan and the second day at the Blue Hole. We actually found them to be very professional with respect to equipment... more

We dove in Caye Caulker. The first day we dove with frenchies, with the only reference of their web as we made no reservation from Spain and their references seemed good. From the first moment it was a unsuccesful experience: very old equipment, 10 people per boat, captain also being dive master, so nobody stayed at suface while diving, what... more

Great communication, great diving for 2 days - glad we booked ahead! Some people still got onto the trip via the waitlist the day before since there were a couple of no-shows. Lucky guys, as it was high season! The reviews I found on TripAdvisor and a couple of Scuba boards made me really apprehensive to dive with Frenchies. However,... more

I've recently returned from a trip to Caye Caulker, and after seeing so many good reviews of Frenchies I planned for all my dives with their shop. I'm a Dive Master who was VERY excited to spend some time in the Blue Hole and other gems in the brilliant Atolls off the coast of Belize. I was very surprised to... more

Just had the most unbelievable dive experience. Eight of us took our PADI Open Water Certificates with Frenchie's and couldn't have had a better time. Not only was our instructor, Hilary, personable, helpful and student focussed, but Frenchie's is itself an incredibly welcoming environment. We chose Frenchie's because of positive Trip Advisor Reviews and were delighted with our 4 days... more

We chose Frenchie's after reading a positive Trip Advisor review. My husband and I had no previous diving experience and were interested in participating in the four day open water certification. After a quick email response to our initial inquiry we were confirmed for the class without paying a dime. They also told us all of the costs up front... more

Frenchie's Diving offers a full range of diving experiences. The PADI certification course was presented by an instructor that was very thorough and always had safety as a priority. The Blue Hole dive accomodated the very experienced and the newly certified divers. All divers regardless of experience had a marvelous experience. The owner/manager, Abel, was very kind, friendly and graciously... more
