“BEST DIVE TRIP EVER!”

“I have recently spent two weeks with ReefCI. I can honestly say it was one of the best dive trips I have ever taken.

The important work that ReefCI do with marine conservation added a new dimension to my diving experience and one that will enhance all future dive trips I go on.

The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and were extremely professional.

Life on Tom Owens Caye was relaxed but every day was full of activity.

Watching the way in which the dive training was taught it made me want to revise the theory parts of my qualifications (if only I’d learned to dive with ReefCI when I started diving!).

The dive sites around the Caye were full of varied marine life and interesting topography, even dive sites that I repeated in my two weeks held something new for me to see.

The whole dive team was one of the nicest I have ever dived with, and the support staff were always there to help.

Food and accomodation on the island was an exemplary standard and I would recommend a trip with ReefCI to any divers who want to learn more about the marine environment or to those who just want a great island experience with great diving, great food and great people.”
