Great experience, well organised - 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

Great course and great instructor! - 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❤️

Excellent place to learn free diving - 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!

BB diver made my BEST days on Koh Chang! - Completed my basic Freediver course here! BIG thanks for my instructors Adam and Pierre! 👍🏻Adam was so encouraging and gave me full confidence. Pierre was super nice and patient so that I could stay calm and well relaxed. He helped me to practice a lot because I had a problem of equalization. I hope I can learn more here and get back to this lovely island soon!🏝🥰 If you’re interested in freedive, don’t hesitate to come here for safe and professional coaching! Freediving isn’t easy for me but I did improved when I took time to practice. The process isn’t only challenging but definitely rewarding!☺️ จบคอร์สBasic Freediverที่นี่แล้ว! ขอบคุณมากๆ Adam และ Pierre! Adamให้กำลังใจตลอดและทำให้ฉันมั่นใจเต็มที่ ส่วนPierreเป็นคนอดทนมาก ทำให้ฉันได้สงบสติอารมณ์และผ่อนคลาย เขาช่วยฉันฝึกฝนเยอะเพราะฉันมีปัญหาในการปรับความดันในหู ฉันหวังว่าฉันจะได้เรียนรู้เพิ่มเติมที่นี่และกลับมาที่เกาะช้างในเร็วๆ นี้! หากคุณสนใจฟรีไดฟ์ อย่าลังเลที่จะมาที่ร้านนี้เพื่อรับการฝึกสอนอย่างprofessional และปลอดภัยนะคะ ฟรีไดวิ่งไม่ใช่เรื่องง่ายสำหรับฉัน แต่ฉันทำดีขึ้นหลังจากใช้เวลาในการฝึกฝน กระบวนการนี้ไม่ได้แค่ท้าทายแต่คุ้มค่าเลย!!!🤩
