Great experience - Getting my open water was a great experience. Steve was a great instructor, plus Oscar and Harry were also great resources on the boat. All around great experience.

Best First-Time Diving Experience! - I did my OW course at BB Divers with Steve, and he was a great instructor. As a complete beginner, I really appreciated his “monkey see, monkey do” style of teaching… especially after the e-learning, it made transitioning into the practical side feel a lot less overwhelming. He explained things in a simple, straightforward way, made sure I felt comfortable at every stage, and kept everything calm and easy to follow. I always felt happy and well taken care of. The dives themselves were smooth and really fun, and Steve struck a good balance between being professional and keeping the vibe relaxed. Honestly I don’t think it could’ve gone any better. I’m really thinking about doing my Advanced OW diver later in this year, it’s really that good!

highly recommended - quite briefly I decided to do the course... via WhatsApp just before 6 pm I asked if a course would be possible for the coming day... 10 minutes later my participation including pick-up at the hotel was confirmed... With Ivo I had the course and can highly recommend it... with patience, humor and the friendly hints, which helps so that small mistakes do not become big problems... so if you think about it... my tip: Make it!

Great experience with an excellent instructor - 3-day course going over all sections of the PADI open water course. I was very lucky to have Ivo as my instructor. He did a great job by explaining everything clearly, making me feel comfortable during the whole process and correcting me when needed. I can 100% recommend Ivo as an instructor. Thanks a lot, Ivo!

An unforgettable experience thanks to Adrien - I did my PADI Open Water Diver at this diving school, and it was an exceptional experience. The atmosphere is both very friendly and professional, which immediately puts you in confidence. A huge thank you to my instructor Adrien, who is a really great person. He showed great sympathy, patience and exemplary professionalism throughout the training. Thanks to him, I was able to learn in the best possible conditions and enjoy every dive. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better instructor! Adrien is a very beautiful person, passionate about what he does, and it is felt. I highly recommend this school, BB Divers in Koh Chang, to anyone wishing to discover or deepen diving. Thank you again for this unforgettable experience! Friendly, Bertrand

Best experience as a beginner dive - BB divers is a well oiled machine. My instructor was Steve Ellery. We hit it off right away. He was very personable and patient. We went at my pace. Steve has traveled the world diving and has many interesting stories that I enjoyed very much. He has no ego and nothing to prove. Steve made it all about helping me get the most out of the experience. I highly recommend Steve. I felt like I had walked away with a new friend. The kind of friend that no matter how long time goes by without talking, that we would just pick up where we left off. I hope to get to see him soon. Cheers!

Perfect diving course with highlight at HTMS Chang Wreck - We booked the course through GetYourGuide and are completely satisfied. The communication was fast and uncomplicated, even the hotel pickup (Oasis) went smoothly. Our instructor Ivo from Switzerland was extremely competent, relaxed and professional – we can highly recommend him. Due to illness, we had to interrupt the course after the first day, but were able to continue it without any problems five days later. We felt safe and well looked after at all times and are very grateful for this great experience. The wreck of the HTMS Chang was an absolute highlight!

Safety is paramount and the explanation was done by Geoffrey in a pleasant and fun way. He took all the time to take you into this new world and is very knowledgeable. Definitely recommended to get your PADI at this school!
