⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (More if I could) - I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better scuba experience. I spent four days diving here and went from Open Water certification in just three days to an advanced wreck dive on day four—and every single day was incredible. My Open Water instructor, Geoffrey, was outstanding. Calm, patient, and extremely knowledgeable, he made learning feel natural and confidence-building rather than rushed. Safety was always the top priority, and he explained everything clearly, making sure I truly understood each skill instead of just checking boxes. On the fourth day, I joined Etienne for an advanced dive, and it was hands down one of the most intense and rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. Descending onto the HTMS Chang wreck, managing depth, awareness, and breathing under pressure—it was challenging in the best possible way. Etienne was phenomenal: composed, observant, and deeply focused on teaching real-world diving skills while keeping everything controlled and safe. I learned more on that dive than I ever expected. The entire team runs a professional, well-organized operation, and you can tell they genuinely care about developing confident, capable divers—not just handing out certifications. By the end of the trip, I felt calm, capable, and completely hooked on diving. If you’re considering getting certified or pushing yourself further as a diver, this is the place to do it. Five stars isn’t enough—I’d give more if I could. 🌊🤿

Great school to do OWD and AOWD! - I had an amazing experience with BB Divers in Koh Chang and can highly recommend this dive school to anyone who wants to learn diving properly and safely. Our two instructors, Markus and Oscar, were absolutely outstanding. They took a lot of time for our training and explained everything clearly and patiently. You could really feel that they care about their students and about high-quality, responsible dive education. Both of them were incredibly friendly, funny, and helpful, which made the whole experience not only professional but also very relaxed and enjoyable. The training was very individual, careful, and well structured, adapted to our personal pace and needs. We always felt safe, well looked after, and motivated. Thanks to them, diving became a fantastic experience for us from the very first moment. Highly recommended – one of the best dive schools you can choose in Koh Chang!

Getting my PADI open water diver and doing my first dives - Me and my dad followed the 3-day PADI open water diver course with BB Divers on Koh Chang. The experience had been great! Our trainer Tam was fantastic! We’ve got a lot of personal attention, learned and also laughed a lot! We’ve seen turtles, a lot of fish and even a whale shark!! Fantastic experience! The rest of the boat crew and boatmaster Oscar were also really nice, helpfull and a great team to dive with! I would highly recommend going diving with BB Divers on Koh Chang!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - This is the place to get your PADI license! If you want a safe, professional, fun and overall good experience - dive with Pierre Carnet as your instructor. He is super skilled, and a great guy. Had the best experience the whole course and felt so well looked after. Very thankful for this amazing 3 days. Maurice was very helpful with booking and organizing everything, always quick to respond and very professional. My highest recommendations! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

No troubles, only bubbles🫧 - Went into my Padi with some anxiety about the deep waters, but once I arrived and started doing practical work with my instructor Pierre, everything clicked from the start! He led me and my buddy through the course in a quick but controlled tempo and nothing felt overcomplicated or whatever. Straight to the point, yet patient when we would make a mistake. Great experience! Next up: Advanced😆
