I have been on two separate dive trips here, and I will be a client for life. Beautiful location, amazing staff, and tons of fantastic diving. They always go above and beyond to accommodate dietary restrictions, celebrations, and cook beautiful meals. The instructors and divemasters are extremely thorough and patient with students with different comfort levels in the water. This place is a haven for connecting with nature, getting as much diving as possible, meeting great people, and relaxing by the water.

Reef CI runs a very comprehensive PADI certification program - all the staff and instructors are very knowledgeable and a lot of fun to learn with. In addition to the great diving and instruction, we also had delicious meals, and full-on volleyball games every evening. Great place to learn how to scuba! Good diving, great instructors, delicious food! Steve McGonagle2025-01-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The diving was amazing! As always. My 6th week on the island over past 5 years. One of the most amazing things about this magical island operation is the quality of the people who make it all happen. I find it fascinating that the chill vibe of the island is so unique and powerful. Run by the kindest and most professional crew anywhere. Friends for life. You're doing amazing things for the environment and for divers who want to volunteer. My favorite trip every year and all I do is travel, fish and dive. I thank you.

An Unforgettable Week of Conservation and Connection My week on Tom Owen’s Caye with ReefCI was nothing short of incredible. From the moment I arrived, I knew I was in for an adventure. Willie, Abby, Johnny, Mike, Bigs, Linda, Lou, and the entire crew were simply amazing. Their passion for marine conservation was infectious, and their dedication to educating us was truly inspiring. Throughout the week, we learned about the critical impact of lionfish on the reef ecosystem and the dangers posed by single-use plastics. The hands-on experience of helping with lionfish removal and contributing to reef conservation was as rewarding as it was eye-opening. The staff did an incredible job of breaking down complex environmental issues into actionable steps we could all take to make a difference. Beyond the conservation work, the hospitality was exceptional. The team worked tirelessly to take care of us, ensuring every detail of our stay was perfect. And the food—wow! Every meal was delicious, fresh, and made with care, providing the perfect fuel for our dives and activities. ReefCI isn’t just about volunteering; it’s about building connections—with the ocean, the incredible people on the island, and fellow volunteers who share a passion for making a difference. I left feeling empowered to share the impact with friends and family and more connected to the marine environment than ever before. If you’re looking for a meaningful adventure that combines conservation, education, and community, ReefCI is the place to be. I can’t recommend it enough and can’t wait for the chance to go back! Greg & Nic Ruddenklau2025-01-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A tiny island but a very impactful experience. Kayla Rodriguez2024-12-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The greatest hosts, the best food, and some of the best diving you'll get. We will be back ❤️ jay a2024-11-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was a fantastic experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the diving , education and people while being disconnected from the world for a few days! I cannot wait to return! Chrissy McKeon2024-09-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an amazing organization and experience! It is so rewarding to do something that you love while also feeling like you're making a difference. This was my first time spearing lionfish and I was surprised at how much fun I had and how easy it was (lionfish are slow, y'all!). The staff does such an impeccable job of weaving conservation into what is just hands-down a great time. When you're not diving, there's time to soak up the incredible feeling of being disconnected on a beautiful remote island smack in the middle of the Carribean. And if you haven't gotten enough of the open ocean, the snorkeling right off the dock is some I've ever done! My group was also lucky enough to have gone during turtle nesting season, and we got to help ensure nearly 50 hatchlings made it safely to the water... a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. A mama sea-turtle also made a few appearances on the island! I can't say enough good things about ReefCI. It's just a diver's and ocean-lover's paradise! Sai Gudlavalleti2024-08-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A fantastic experience! If you have any doubts, cast them aside. This is a very well-run organization with super chill people on the island. They are awesome and make this a great stay! The size of the island is perfect and you will not really want for anything. Totally disconnected (internet) and taking small steps to make the oceans a better place by saving the corals from invasive species. You meet I stayed for a week and was really hoping I could stay longer. Will definitely be coming back! Thank you to all the people on the island making this a superb place to spend a week (or more)! Alexander Rich2024-07-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was my 4th (I think) time at ReefCI. Every time I visit I enjoy plentiful and exciting diving, relaxing hammocks, friendly and knowledgable staff and instructors, chill social time, reading catch-up, and tasty food. I appreciate the team's accommodation of everyone's skill level, dietary restrictions, and desire-to-participate level. I hope to be back soon!
