My kids are fish. They LOVE the water, and the team at White Sands just made our vacation! We started out with a half day of snorkling which ended at Shark Ray Alley. When I tell you the view there was not to be believed trust me. Enrique chummed the water with fresh caught sardines and the nurse sharks went... More

A must if you're staying at Las Terrazas. Simply walk over to the shop. The crew is very knowledgeable, friendly, fun, and professional. One of the best vacation experiences. Our group was learning how to SCUBA, and they made it so simple and safe. We had such a good time that we even did a NIGHT DIVE at Hol Chan... More

My husband and I stayed at Las Terrazas, so we were just steps away from White Sands Dive Shop. We had a snorkeling trip planned when we booked our stay with our travel agent. It was our first time snorkeling, and we were a little nervous. When we arrived at the dive shop, the staff was extremely friendly, helpful and... More

After doing all our classroom and pool work in Calgary, my girlfriend and I chose white sands to complete our open water certification. Everyone at the shop was extremely friendly including the owner Elbert and Lupe, who dealt with payments. Our first dive master, Raul, was knowledgeable, helpful and made us feel very comfortable during our certification and when I... More

Used them because they are associated with Las Terrazas and that is where we stayed. Very friendly. I dove and snorkeled and appreciated that if you are travelling in a group and some snorkel and some dive they can accomodate both. Liked that they grilled and checked me on my scuba knowledge and made sure I put my equipment together.... More

We just got back from a diving trip to Ambergris Caye, Belize. We did all of our dives with White Sands. Everything about the dive shop is what you want in a dive experience: great staff, local knowledge, great dive masters, boat captains. Before we left the dock we were briefed on safety, layout of the dive and what we... More

In March a last minute trip was booked to Belize. There were no exact plans other than "Maybe we can attempt the Blue Hole?" It had been many years since any real dives and even with that said they were novice / resort dives. I wasn't sure if it would be possible to get certified and feel ready for the... More

Lupe checks me in, making a special note that this is my first dive ever. She tells me I'll be in the pool with Raul, not to worry, no rush, it will take as long as it needs to take. With her words, I begin to breathe again. Raul's knowledge and patience make him an excellent instructor. I do exactly... More

I wanted to like this place, after all it was within sight of the house I was staying in with a group of my friends. The owners were friendly, but completely disorganized in handling dive groups. I don't know if they're understaffed or simply that way all the time. Our group had several experienced divers in it, yet all but... More
