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

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

By far the best time we had while in Belize. We were first time snorkelers and our guide Pedro was awesome. We had a small group of 5 on our trip. Pedro was very patient with all of us and some other snorkelers were having trouble with their gear and he helped them and showed them how to breath and... More

Thank you for the experience of a lifetime. Hats off to Sam for the amazing discovery to scuba class which lead me to taking my open water scuba certification course. If it wasn't for your level of detail, patience, fantastic eye contact, level of communication I am not sure if I could have completed the course work in my time... More
