White Sands Dive Shop welcomes you to Belize diving and our Barrier Reef. We are located 100 yards from the Barrier Reef on the island of Ambergris Caye in a small town named San Pedro on the beach. This tropical paradise is a safe tranquil town, overlooking the largest barrier reef in this hemisphere and is only a 15-minute flight from the Belize International Airport. Belize is a world-class scuba diving destination with abundant marine life and healthy corals.

The Hydration Shack

The Art of Drinking & Diving

The importance of being well-hydrated while diving

White Sands Dive Boats offer water and fresh fruit to its divers to increase safety.

Dehydration is the number one cause for Decompression Illness in SCUBA Divers.

Divers need to be hydrated.

Our divers often spend time at the dive shop during surface intervals and this is an excellent time to hydrate, so we have our little ‘Hydration Shack’.

The Hydration Shack stocks Gatorade, fruit and fruit juices along with Crystal Water. Diver or not, it’s the tropics and we all spend time in the Caribbean sun. Cheers to your hydration!

THE GREAT BLUE HOLE

Approximately 45 miles from Ambergris Caye, the almost perfectly circular Blue Hole is more than 1,000 feet (305 meters) across and some 400 feet (123 meters) deep. The hole is the opening to what was a dry cave system during the Ice Age. When the ice melted and the sea level rose, the caves were flooded, creating what is now a magnet for intrepid divers. Today the Blue Hole is famed for its sponges, barracuda, corals, angelfish—and a school of sharks often seen patrolling the hole’s edge.
