Captain Jak's Divers

Set on Placencia's Main Road in Belize, Captain Jak's Divers is a full-service PADI Dive Center that doubles as a base of operations for anyone exploring the region — solo adventurers, couples and families alike. With an onsite training pool, classroom, dive boat and retail shop, it's set up to take you from first breaths underwater to certified diver and beyond.

Courses and diving

As a PADI Dive Center, Captain Jak's runs both excursions and certifications, spanning PADI Scuba Diving, PADI TecRec, PADI Snorkelling and EFR First Aid. Air fills, scuba gear rental and kids' equipment rental round out the offering, and the team works in both English and Spanish.

Diving here centres on Laughing Bird Caye, where the marine life reads like a wish list — sharks, whales, turtles, rays, eels, molluscs and crustaceans, along with corals, anemones and reef fish. With free Wi-Fi, parking and onsite accommodation, it suits divers who want everything in one place.
