Serious learning, security and kindness at the rendezvous! - We spent 3 days at the top with my sister to get our PADI Open Water certification at BB Divers. We were fortunate to have Joe as our instructor just for ourselves: he was very pedagogical, very patient and always attentive to ensure that we acquired the right reflexes to dive safely. The organization is really perfect: a punctual and friendly taxi picks you up directly from the hotel, the equipment is ready on board as soon as you arrive and the team takes care of everything for you at the end of the day. The meals served on the boat are very plentiful with choice, which makes the days at sea even more enjoyable. On the last day, the sea was a bit rougher and we weren’t in the best shape because of seasickness, but fortunately Oscar, another instructor, took care of us and helped us with our equipment, which allowed us to finish the training serenely. In short, an extremely professional, well organized and very caring diving center. If you want to learn to dive seriously while feeling accompanied and safe, this is the perfect place! A huge thank you to Joe and Oscar for their patience and kindness.

Open water diver - Started with the e-learning at home so we just did the diving training in the pool and then 4 dives at koh loan, koh thian and koh yak. The diving instructor was really cool and we had a lot of fun. Delicious food on the boat.

Excellent Dive Experience - We are so happy we chose to use BB Divers for our open water PADI course. We felt supported at every step of the journey. We started with Pierre in the pool learning the basics. Then moved to the boat and ocean practice with Chang. Both were amazingly helpful, accommodating, patient, and quick with tips and tricks to help us master the skills. Definitely expert, experienced staff. To be honest, the boat ride to the dive sites was a bit rough, but that’s to be expected in this season (July - rainy). That being said the boat was large and we had room to move if we needed to. My daughter loved the lunches we had each day, and the fresh fruit on the boat. The equipment we used for the dives was good quality which made me comfortable. We saw lots of nice coral, fish, eels, sting rays, huge jelly fish, and my favorite, the nudibranchs. If you’re looking to get your PADI certification or just get out diving or snorkeling, I can’t recommend BB Divers enough!

Amazing experience, great staff, equipment, and teachers - BB Divers is an amazing place to get your PADI license if you are looking to get into diving. The diving instructor I was learning with, (Kru Chang), is very strict on the curriculum and did not miss a single thing while teaching me how to dive. In contrast, my diving instructor in Koh Tao’s reef diving center, (Ms. Maria) missed out on a lot of things like the dive computer, controlled emergency ascent, and didn’t even verify my dives. If you need a reliable dive center and instructor, don’t hesitate to look for Kru Chang. He is very knowledgeable and definitely has your back. He even gave me a philosophy lesson at the end of my dive.

Fantastic Open Water Diving Course - We did the Open Water Diving course with bb divers Koh Kood and it was fantastic! Communication and organization via Manu went uncomplicated and she told us everything in advance and eased the worries. Our instructor Barry was very cool, helpful, taught us a lot and was always by our side. After a pool session to practice we had four very nice dives, two of them in Koh Rang National Park. Many thanks to Manu, Barry and the crew on the boat!

Highly recommended open water course! - For a long time, I had wanted to take the PADI Open Water course, and I’m so happy that I finally did it in Koh Chang! The whole experience was fantastic, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to diving. Even though I had booked a regular group course, I ended up with a private instructor, which made the experience even more personalized. That said, everyone else on our boat had just 1-3 divers per instructor, so no matter what, you get a safe and professional experience. My pool training was with Pier, an incredibly experienced and professional instructor—I highly recommend him! For the open water dives, I was lucky to have Ale (Alejandra), and she truly made the experience unforgettable. Ale is super professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind, with a real passion for diving that shines through in everything she does. Thanks to her, the whole experience couldn’t have been better! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, professional, and so much fun. If you're considering getting your PADI certification in Koh Chang, I highly recommend this dive school and their amazing instructors!
