I did my advanced open water PADI last week, the staff are all friendly, I had. Soraya French instructor she spoke very good English, knew what she was doing and took great care while in course.
The center provide all range of courses you can imagine, they also have a bungalow hotel next to the center, there is a nice restaurant sea view which is much cheaper that close by places. Overall Great Experience and recommended.

I had a great time at Big Bubble, doing my PADI Open Water Diver's certificate. Normally, BB do groups of up to 4 students (smaller than other schools on the island) but I had my private instructor, Nui, due to low demand (for OWD in English) at the time. Nui was fantastic, super calm, fun, and knowledgeable. He did a great job of calming me down when I was scared under water. While this school mainly caters to Thai divers, several of the instructors speak great English and are more than happy to teach foreign learners.

This was such a great experience, I had the best time with the best instructor, ICE, who made me feel very comfortable and safe. Everything was done in a very safe way. Everything about the dive was reviewed first by my partner instructor ICE. It is a smaller diving school in a small town and this means that there are far fewer people who sign up than in the big cities. This makes it a cozy relaxed atmosphere with plenty of space on the boat. My biggest recommendation to the diving school, instructor ICE, as well as his colleagues. I will definitely return.

I had a fantastic experience at the diving school, which boasts a friendly atmosphere and a strong commitment to quality. The instructors were highly experienced and knowledgeable, ensuring that both beginners and seasoned divers felt comfortable and safe. The equipment provided was top-notch, enhancing our diving experience. The rooms were comfortable and well-maintained, and the inclusion of breakfast was a great bonus to start the day right. Overall, I highly recommend this diving school for anyone looking to explore the underwater world in a welcoming environment!

Big bubble is a smaller diving school in the south of the Island. This results in a very friendly family like approach, in huge contrast to the larger diving schools.
We did our Advanced Open Water under the fun and professional guidance of Air and an Australian divemaster in training.
Most of our dives were just the 4 (we as couple, Air as instructor and the Divemaster) so we felt very safe and had lots of opportunities to ask questions and improve.
If you do a course or fun dives, you can also get a good bundle which includes accommodation and breakfast.
The school is more targeted towards Thai people, but their English is actually very good so if you like the more local experience then Big Bubble is very much recommended!

Spent about 5 days at Big Bubble Dive School doing my Open Water and Advanced Open Water courses and it was AMAZING! It was my first time and the instructor (Devesh Saboo) was patient and a great teacher.
The school is very clean, everyone is friendly, and it even has a nice restaurant/bar with beachfront access in the back of the school.
One of the big reasons my experience here was so amazing was because of my instructor Devesh Saboo. He was not only friendly and welcoming, but his technical knowledge and experience diving was helpful for someone new like me. On top of that he also made us feel welcome by providing local recommendations and taking us to try good food. I really enjoyed the time I spent with him!
Everyone else that worked there was friendly and welcoming too. Yaya, JT and Pong were awesome!
Spending time with the staff and instructors was as great as the diving at all the beautiful locations!

Great experience but only thanks to Lionel and Soraya!!!! French in Gold who take you through levels or introduce you to the Thai underwater flora and fauna with enthusiasm and professionalism. Without them the club has no flavor.... Many thanks to them!!!!!

Awful experience. As a western person, I would not use this diving school. They speak terrible English and didn’t teach me technique so I ended up badly damaging my ears. I ended up cancelling because my ears were badly damaged. They only refunded me a tiny amount (like £35) even when it was their fault so I lost like £170. The team were not very friendly toward me and it was not a sociable experience. They were rude and hostile. It might be different if you’re Thai but I would not recommend this diving school.

I did my refresher dive and my 12 yo two try dives, which was great as we could go together. As it was just one trip for a few hours it is difficult to review the whole centre everything went smooth. They even found my Padi diving license number as I couldn't find my licence. Probably the highlight was our instructor Leo from France who was fantastic with my 12 yo who absolutely enjoyed the experience. Being able to connect with kids is a great skill which made the trip for my son and me. So thank you for this unforgettable experience. If I would have had more time I would have booked there again for another dive, so I must come back...
