1.00This company has poor customer service and is quite rude. They did not answer any questions I had from the training. They had poor communication and asked me for the same documents I had sent before. The instructor had us swim without warming up first in a pool. When I could not perform at the level I was usually able to, they did not let me try out again or reschedule to a different day. They did not let me rebook another pool session for an additional fee. They did not provide a partial refund or a discover scuba experience. Then, they attempted to sell me another scuba experience for certified divers. Their strictness and coldness makes me feel like my race played a factor. They were much warmer to other participants and I was the only Asian. The fact that they call themselves a 5 star dive centre is a joke considering the lack of professionalism they have shown.
Rottnest a great way to finish of a PADI course

5.00Thank you for this incredible experience! I would recommend instructor Claire to anyone wanting to learn how to dive, she provided such a safe space for fears and helped me tap into courage with her presence and guidance, I am not convinced I would have been able to trust and surrender the way I did without her. Highest recommendations from me! It is a truly magical experience once you can relax and enjoy flying through the water and the amazing new world you have access to now...have the best encounters and magical experiences life has to offer :)
Fun and never forget!

5.00Bubble making! Really really happy today at Rottnest! Want to call out and big thanks to Instructor Lauren! She really patient, so knowledgeable, full of energy and really good on teaching too! Also thank you to Kate and Antoni for starting the company! Without both of them, my diving journey and underwater experience will never be the same! I will be back!

5.00WOW!!!! What an amazing experience. We started off by completing our online exams at home, Bucket List Diver regularly checkin to see how we were going and also kept us updated on the practical section of the dive. After the Exam we completed out first pool day session with Hayley. Hayley was one of the loveliest teachers I have ever had in my life, she answered all questions well, made us feel safe, she had an extremely calming nature and anything we were concerned about she slowly helped us through. The next day was doing our first shore dive at Ammo Jetty again with Hayley. Once again she was patient, explained everything really well and made us feel safe the whole time. The last day we had Billie and Anton as Skipper, we were briefed really well and as always felt safe art every step of the way, the last day was a boat dive and Billie took us to some amazing places. We passed with flying colours and now feel confident to dive anywhere. Thanks so much to the whole team at Bucket List Diver. You should be really proud of your team, and I would recommend everyone who is looking to get the dive licence to do it with BLD.
