Born and raised on Caye Caulker, Artie Marin helped his dad Emelito as a young boy with the family’s lobster fishing business. Growing up on the water he memorized the reef and the beautiful life within it. As more and more foreigners visited the Caye, Artie saw an opportunity to share his little island and its surroundings with those who wanted to see and do more than enjoy a cold Belikin. Over twenty years ago he became a licensed guide and has led adventurous divers over 100 times into The Great Blue Hole and Thousands more snorkeling into the Mesoamericana Barrier Reef.
Artie began Anda De Wata Tours (ADW) in 2004 with a specialty in delivering memorable snorkeling tours with access to Belize’s beautiful Barrier Reef and beyond. In 2010 his passion
for sustainable tourism and abundance of island pride caught the eye of his (now) wife, Kat who join the ADW team and together have worked hard in making Anda De Wata Tours a success.
It is a boutique business with a tightknit and committed staff. You can still find Artie Captaining
tours and Ms. Kat in the office organizing excursions with their children often alongside her.  Anda De Wata Tours has been featured in various travel guidebooks and blogs. It was
nominated for Tour Operator of the Year in 2014 and continues to lead one-of-a-kind tours on the Caye. Artie and Kat have a passion for delivering the best service possible leaving guest with experiences and friendships that last a lifetime.
