• 5Koh Chang Advanced Open Water

  I just completed my Advanced Open Water course on Koh Chang, and I cannot recommend Marcus enough. He is an incredible instructor. Marcus was patient as I learned new skills, and his encouragement gave me a massive boost in confidence. He also has a great sense of humor that kept the dives fun and relaxed. If you want to take your diving to the next level on Koh Chang, definitely ask for Marcus!

• 5Advanced Open Water

  Just finished my advanced open water course, Had a great experience, my instructor Marcus was very professional and good fun as well, always felt very safe in the water especially when the visibility was not great. The general experience was great the dive sites were lovely and the wreck is quite a site to see, the food on the boat is also good and the group sizes are small as well which is nice. Also a thanks to Oscar for some wider help as well as being a great Boat Master. Overall super happy to have passed and would absolutely do some recreational dives with Bb divers in the future.

• 5Amazing dives and a great course.

  What an absolutely amazing experience! Not only did BB Divers teach me skills needed to dive safely, but during these lessons I was lucky enough to see a Whale Shark, Sea Turtle, and dolphins! My teacher Frederica was amazing, extremely helpful, and answered all my questions. Any time I had an issue during the training, she helped resolve. If you book this course and have her as your instructor you'll be in good hands. Thanks BB Divers and thanks Frederica!

About Ko Chang

Ko Chang is a mountainous island in the Gulf of Thailand near Cambodia, with jungle waterfalls, white-sand beaches and a stilt-house fishing village.

Ko Chang is Thailand's third-largest island, lying off the coast of Trat province in the east, close to the Cambodian border. A ridge of jungle-covered mountains runs down the middle, dropping to beaches on the west coast. The island is part of Mu Ko Chang National Park, a group of islands, and ferries cross from the mainland pier at Laem Ngop.
