Conquered My Fears…

I stayed at the Portofino beach resort so it was convenient that Action Divers was on the premises. I was not planning on snorkeling at all because I do not know how to swim. I meet Roberto after getting back from one of my excursions I took. Right off the bat, I felt very comfortable with him. He offered to teach me how to swim/snorkel before going out to a snorkeling site. The next day he kept his word and he taught me step by step what to do and what to expect when snorkeling. Small to some but that was an accomplishment on its own for me. The got the courage to book a excursion with him for the following day. I highly recommend Action Divers and Adventure. Coming from someone who does not know how to swim, I trusted them with my life. I swam in the deep ocean, swam with sharks, sting rays, and I even saw two dolphins. This experience has encouraged me to take swimming lesson and to one day go back to Belize and get scuba certified with Roberto and Action Divers.

Best Diving Experience Ever

Just finished 4 days of diving with Action Divers. Best Diving Experience Ever. Roberto runs a professional shop with top notch equipment. But more importantly, his team went the extra mile to make sure that our experience was second to none while always ensuring safety was the top priority. They took us through tunnels, fed the sharks, taught us to spear fish and then cooked our spoils on the beach. Make sure to ask for Poncho as your diver master and Marco as your captain. Together they will make your experience unforgettable. We have dove all over the world and Poncho and Marco made this dive experience simply the best. I would recommend that you travel to Belize and only dive with Action Divers.

Excellent Value & Service

In advance of our 2 week, 3-family Ambergris Caye vacation in Feb (2013) I reviewed the websites of all the major tour operators to compare/ contrast services and prices. Considering the size of our group and the duration of our stay I thought it best to establish a relationship with a tour operator who could provide for all our recreational needs (including golf carts) and VALUE having all of our business. After speaking with a few different places I found Action Divers & Adventures and was immediately impressed with their responsiveness, attention to detail and (esp.) their willingness to work with me to develop a totally customized package of services (PADI cert, SCUBA diving, family (kids) snorkelling, zoo/ mainland adventures, golf carts) that fit our budget. Thank you Josie!

Roberto is the principal owner and Dive Master at AD&A and he took really great care of me over the 3-day PADI cert training providing totally one-on-one instruction as well as educating me on all the details of life in Belize. I found him to be very knowledgeable, courteous and professional, extremely friendly and a whole lot of fun to be around. His crew of characters (esp. Josie and Oscar!) made our family-snorkelling day an amazing experience for both parents and (small) children and they did an outstanding job of taking care of all the details… safety being the top priority, making everyone comfortable in the water with all the marine life (freaked out adults and children included) as well taking excellent underwater photos and videos.

Everyone in our party was very impressed with both the value and the quality of the service we received from Roberto and his team and are very happy to recommend Action Divers […]

Snorkeling and Fishing

We had two unbelieveable days with Teddy as our guide. The first trip he took us and a great couple from the Northwest to Hol Chan Marine Reserve. We saw an incredible number of colorful and beautiful fish and one small blue and black fish we can’t recall the name of but Teddy said he had not seen one in 15 years! We were able to hold and touch a nurse shark! Our second trip included fishing and snorkling. We caught several types of snapper. The snorkling was again amazing and fun! Teddy, the human fish, helped us gather conch that we brought back to our resort for a tasty treat of Conch Ceviche and Conch fritters. These guys gave us personal attention and made both trips unforgettable!
Next trip… will be with our diving certs!
