    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!

    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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    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😆

    My daughter did her OW certification at BB Divers, before we dive together for three days. The complete pick-up from the hotel to the boat was done without a hitch. Francophone instructors have been assigned to us. A big THANK YOU to Sebastien and Maxime for their professionalism and passion, as well as to the boss Kristel and all her staff for their work. Only regret: the immediate return transfer leaves no time for a chillout on site...

  • Great, authentic and personal diving experience

    I did the jr open water course, and the instructor was great. BB.divers really went out of their way to help me and feel comfortable under water. I’d recommend it to all other kids - and their parents 😉
