5.00Had an absolutely amazing three day Padi Open Water course at BB divers. The whole staff were instantly treating me like their family the second I arrived. They gave me everything I needed to excel in the course and more. My instructor Morgan was 11/10, he was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and patient. He went through each step carefully to insure I understood everything. At one point he even went out on his scooter to town to get me breakfast because I didn't have any that day! I cannot say enough positive things, I will certainly be returning to BB Divers to continue my scuba journey!

5.00I completed my PADI Open Water Course with BB Divers, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! My instructor Morgan Feroldi was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, which made the entire course both safe and enjoyable. From the very first briefing to the final dive, I felt supported and well taken care of. The instructor explained everything clearly and calmly, answered all my questions with patience, and made sure each skill felt comfortable before we moved on. BB Divers as a whole gave a very professional and well-organized impression. The equipment was in excellent condition, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the entire team contributed to a fantastic diving environment. I can highly recommend both the course and my instructor – I couldn’t have wished for a better start to my diving journey! 🌊🤿✨
Best Day!

5.00I had an amazing diving experience with Marcus from BB Divers. He is an excellent instructor—professional, patient, and very knowledgeable. From the beginning, he made me feel safe and confident in the water. His explanations were clear, and he always took the time to ensure I understood every step before moving on. I highly recommend diving with Marcus and the whole BB Divers team. It was an incredible experience, and I would definitely come back again!
Amazing experience taking the Open Water diving certification

5.00Had the pleasure of doing my PADI open water certification at BB Divers with Manu and her crew. I was fortunate to be instructed by Louis, who was very patient when explaining the various drills and whenever something didn't quite work out, e.g. if I made a mistake. I was the only student, but was told that they always keep groups to at most 2 students per instructor. Manu, Louis and the rest of the crew were all extremely professional while keeping a light and fun atmosphere around me and amongst the crew. I can only hope to one day come back to Koh Kood and go on one (or more) fun dives with BB Divers. As an added bonus they have four absolutely adorable cats!
Best way to get your PADI

5.00Amazing experience! I took the first scuba diver-part of the OWD course with confined water practice and two open water dives in Koh Kood. Excellent communication with Manu right from the beginning. I received very detailed information on different options and got to choose which one suited me the best, as well as the schedule. I had to make last minute (the evening before the first day of the course) changes to the schedule due to a minor accident, and they were flexible and understanding to reschedule the whole activity. The course itself exceeded my expectations! Marcus is truly a professional. We recapped some theory parts that I had learnt through PADI e-learning in advance, and he had the patience to explain and repeat things several times to make sure everything was understood correctly. During the confined and open water skill practices, he proved to be supportive, encouraging and detail-oriented. That certainly helped me gain confidence and feel more comfortable under water. Highly recommend BB Divers!
Amazing people, great teaching skills, good equipment. Diving in a beautiful environment!

5.00Even in the off-season, the team did everything to make sure we had a wonderful diving experience. Manu made an extra effort to make sure my boyfriend could complete the PADI Open Water Diver course, and the whole crew was extremely friendly and supportive. The food was also really good. We both had a lot of fun and hope to be back soon. Thank you Manu! Absolutely recommended!

5.00Highly recommended! After a beautiful Discovery dive in Koh Rang National Park we decided to attach the PADI Open Water Diver. Subsequent settlement was no problem and the first taster dive was included in the OWD. It was a great experience all around. Our instructor Daniell was very professional, patient and explained everything to us in a relaxed and safe atmosphere. You immediately notice that he has a real passion for diving and passes it on with a lot of joy. Organisation of the course was flawless. I felt completely comfortable and am super happy to have my diving certificate now. Thank you for this unforgettable experience! Greetings Franzi and Soren
