Great operation, good logistics, everything well thought through. Minor hiccups swiftly resolved. Boat crew was ace and Steve managed everyone well and put everyone at ease. My instructor Markus was meticulous and no nonsense, but also calm and informative. Super chill vibes. I will be back i reckon
So fun and so great!

Our instructor was friendly and well experienced, with a strong, patient focus on safety. It was obvious from the beginning that we were in very good hands. He had us quickly freediving to depths and for lengths of time that didn’t seem possible. Highly recommended for learning to safely enjoy the ocean like a seal!
Awesome first freediving experience

I did the course with Charles. Honestly, I knew it wasn't going to be easy for me because I had to face a few fears but he's a really good teacher (and funny). He made me feel at ease, safe and confident that I could do it. It was such great day for me, and I would 100% recommend bb divers and Charles.
Best instructor, best freediving lectures

Lovely experience and I got my first PADI license thanks to BB divers- insturctor Pierre😊 We were 2people for freediving course, and instructor Pierre and Chen provided thorough theory. It was first time to dive in the sea for me but Pierre helped me to be calm and relax. Also, he reminded me a lot of theory related to the practical diving skills which helps a lot to understand the diving skills. I had problem to equalize and be relax in the water before, but I managed to dive to the goal because Pierre patiently taught me step by step. Thank you BB divers, that was my best achievement in this year❤️

Learn free dive here is a great experience, the practice facilities, the pools and the restaurant are atmospheric, the instructors are kind, relaxed, and are of the standard👍🏻✨✨ Although this time we will not be able to pass the test in Lv.1 but I promise to come back for another round.

Great experience, 100% recommendable! Pierre, our instructor, was kind, patient and enthusiastic to help wherever he could. BB Dive supports with transportation and also offers affordable stays. The café / restaurant is cozy and great place to hangout, learn and to enjoy the view on the ocean. The online training is straight forward and you get access to the theory of higher free diving classes. After having free dived now, I am keen to continue!

It was an amazing diving experience with so calm and encouraging instructor Pierre Gruter. Gained so much confidence with his training in pool to enjoy all dives in the sea. Highly recommended.
