Last year I completed Open Water at Big Bubble and this year I came back for the Advance OW!I trust my instructor (So) and the establishment so much that as soon as I had the chance to go back to Koh Tao I found myself at BB. They are not only great people but also super knowledgeable. Although I faced some unexpected issues throughout the course, my instructor was always very patient and reassuring. I like that they are also environmentally conscious and be good examples themselves. I would totally recommend 🫧 Thank you Big Bubble!

I took FreeDive Advance 1 with Big Bubble… The resort has a Good Atmosphere, Room is clean. N’ Tur who is our FreeDive instructor is very Nice Kind and patient. Spend 4 days here is a good time for relaxing and sea breathing….I will definitely come back
5 stars freediving and scubadiving school located on a quiet beach south of Koh Tao. I had the recommandation from a ThaÃŊ friend and I am very happy I listened to her.I followed a 4 days freediving course with Ter, very professional and nice. He adjusted the course regarding my level and taught me the maximum I could learn with very clear explanations (in English).I felt safe and relaxed and could go further than my expectations.Bonus : the confortable room and breakfast included in the course.Khop kun kaap !
i did my open water and advanced class here its incredible with really patiently and friendly instructors nice resort that included in our course it worthy!!
Big Bubble Driving Center surpassed all my expectations! Their expert instructors and top-notch facilities made learning to drive a breeze. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a professional driving school. Five stars!
Our dive guide from Big Bubble was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. They made sure we felt safe and comfortable throughout the dives while also pointing out interesting marine life and underwater formations.
Big Bubble lived up to all my expectations and more!My instructor (Devesh) was an absolute legend and taught the dive theory in an interactive and comprehensive way. All of the information was super easy to digest and I felt really comfortable asking questions.Day 1 diving was about becoming competent in all of the mandatory skills and getting comfortable in the water. We also got super lucky and saw 6 baby reef sharks swimming by!Day 2 was also had skills involved at 12 metres depth. This was nerve racking but my instructor was incredibly calm and patient as I adjusted to the dive.Day 3 was SPECTACULAR! We dove to 18metres and saw beautiful alive coral, stingrays, and many funky fish. This day was such a highlight.Would 1000% recommend diving with big bubble and their awesome instructors!
I recently went diving at Big Bubble and it was an amazing experience! The staff were very friendly and helpful, and they made sure that I was well-prepared for my dive. I would highly recommend Big Bubble Dive Resort to anyone looking for a great diving experience. 🪼🐠🐟🤍✨
Had an incredible experience doing the Padi Refresher Course and 2 Fun Dives at Big Bubble Dive School! The Instructors were all well trained and adept at dealing with technical situations both in and out of the water! I had an exceptionally good time during my two fun dives at Chumphon Pinnacle & White Rock along with Devesh who was a very well trained dive instructor , fun chap all around and I would highly recommend him for all your diving needs in Koh Tao!
Loved diving with big bubble!I did 6 fun dives (open water certified) with the school and they were all amazing. All the instructors on the school are so welcoming and the place just has a great vibe 😊. The groups are small. As quite a new diver I was a little nervous at first, but I always felt save, there were always someone ready to help me and the equipment was good and quite new. It was also nice that I got the same guide for every dive (and I was mostly the only one with him). Thereâs a lot of options around here but Iâm really happy I went with bubble!😁Both the school, restaurant and the rooms have really good prices and value for money.
