We’ll sail to the diving spot in our private boat, where you can chill, talk to other fellow divers and where your instructor will explain in detail everything about the site and marine life. We have fruit, cookies, tea and coffee for you to enjoy on the boat. Bring your swimwear, sunscreen, water and a towel.

Jag gick open water kurs för att få mitt dykar certifikat här, älskade det:) Rekommenderar instruktörerna Joe Payne och TuriPosted on WibiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Een grote shout out naar Turi & Joe voor 4 geweldige dagen waarin wij de open water 20 hebben gedaan. De theorielessen legde ze beide goed en duidelijk uit + werden we ook goed begeleid door hun bij de praktijklessen. Bij dag 3 toen we echt gingen duiken, voelde iedereen zich ook zelfverzekerd en checkte zij gedurende de duik ook non stop hoe het met ons ging. Dus al met al, raad ik la bombana diving zeker aan! Thanks Turi & Joe! 🤙🤿Posted on Patrick HardjodikromoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great 4-day dive course here. Our instructors, Joe and Turi were clear, helpful and chill and they made sure everyone was safe and had a good time. If you're looking to get your OW20 in Koh Tao, I'd definitely recommend this placePosted on Maaike BrasserTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ik heb mijn duikcursus gevolgd bij La Bombana Diving op Koh Tao, onder begeleiding van Turi en Joe. Vanaf het eerste moment viel op hoe professioneel en rustig ze te werk gaan. Ze nemen echt de tijd voor je en leggen alles duidelijk uit, waardoor je je op je gemak voelt in het water. Wat ik vooral prettig vond, is de persoonlijke aandacht. Tijdens de cursus merkte ik dat ik angst begon te ervaren, en Tore voelde dit heel goed aan. Hij begeleidde me hier op een hele fijne en respectvolle manier doorheen, zonder druk te leggen. Uiteindelijk heb ik zelf besloten om niet verder te gaan met de opleiding, maar dat lag volledig aan mij en niet aan de begeleiding. Juist door hun aanpak kan ik zeggen dat La Bombana Diving een hele professionele duikschool is. Ik zou La Bombana Diving dan ook zeker aanraden aan iedereen die wil leren duiken.Posted on Michel AbdadTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Turi and Joe were fantastic! We did the open water course with a group of friends and I couldn't be happier with the help and guidance they've provided. Would highly recommend if you're looking to get your certificate or even to just trydive.Posted on Sergiu SolomonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ongelofelijke ervaring gehad bij La Bomba Diving. Van begin tot eind perfect door de Open Water 20 cursus geleid door Salvatore (Turi) Maloni & Joe (big dawg) Payne. Turi zelf is Nederlands, Joe Brits dus dat schakelde goed. Theorie werd enorm duidelijk uitgelegd, waarmee we in de Pool goed konden oefenen en waar echt de tijd werd genomen voor iedereen individueel. De 4 duiken die we gedaan hebben waren in een woord te beschrijven: PRACHTIG! Met kers op de taart een Walvishaas gespot! Kan La Bomba Diving met volle overtuiging aanraden voor degene die willen beginnen met dioken of juist willen vorderen!Posted on David Antequera MuñozTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Llegué a koh tao sin saber con quién contactar y di con La Bombona Diving, donde hice un refresh con Marina y un par de inmersiones al día siguiente con Neus y todo fue genial! Hay muy buen rollo y lo transmiten. Lo único malo ha sido no disponer de más tiempo para disfrutar del entorno y de la gente de la Bombona. Gracias a todo el equipo!!Posted on cakir iremTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Es war eine 10/10!!
