We pre-booked two consecutive days of Whale Shark Snorkel trips to coincide with the April full moon three months in advance. I found Patty’s email correspondence to be timely, patient and informative. There were a few minor miscommunications but nothing that a simple one time phone call didn’t rectify. Even though there is a Splash Dive Shop right in Placencia... More

When asked to describe Splash, my first response was, "Meh?" Splash is fine. I did a night dive and a whale shark dive (2 tank) with them and both were perfectly adequate. We had been with Avadon earlier in the week, and they clearly have a more organized operation and the top-notch dive masters. The Dive Masters were fine but... More

I agree with previous reviewers about the uneven experience of diving with Splash. First, let me say that I wanted to like them! Patty was very nice, and though she clearly has difficulty delegating, she really seems to care about everyone and treat them like family. I have no idea how she manages to keep track of so many divers... More

There’s no doubt that Splash has the fanciest dive shop in Placencia, but that’s about the best I can say for them. Don’t get me wrong, their equipment is good and the boat is decent and safe, but the overall experience was the worst of the three dive shops we utilized. The two reefs we visited were dead, or in...

Went to Placencia to dive with whale sharks. Stayed at Chabil Mar (FABULOUS!!), right across the street from Splash so thought it would be convenient to book our dives with them. When trying to confirm our dives with Patty, had a difficult time getting a response via email after a couple of attempts. Not a big deal as I figured... More

Splash is definitely the fanciest looking of the Placencia's dive shops. It's got a nice new-looking building, with lots of tech for sale in glass display cases, and a number of boats in its dock. But I have to say that the real measure of a dive shops is in its dive masters, and my experience with Splash is that... More

This was my second trip down to Placencia to dive with Splash Dive Shop and I had yet another amazing experience and time with them. Patty and Ralph organized 5 straight days of diving for me including three days out to see the Whale Sharks at Gladdin Spit. They also organized two days of day trips, more great times! Patty...

Splash Dive Shop is a very slick and professional operation, which I consider to be very reassuring with some of the other sketchier options around the peninsula. They offer a multitude of diving, snorkeling, and inland adventures to partake in. Yes, they can be quite a bit more expensive compared to other excursion shops around Placencia, but the quality of... More

Diving with Splash is AMAZING!. Everyone around Placencia knows them, and knows that they are good! When I told the taxi driver I was diving with Splash, he turned around and said "You are diving with Splash? You'll have a good dive!" And he was right!!! Since I had not been diving for a while, I took a refresher course... More
