We did three days of diving with Buccaneer during a 5 night stay at the Voyager Beach Resort (reviewed separately). I had written to them in advance to get prices and book ourselves in plus I had put in a request to go to the vuma caverns as that is the best place to try and find whale sharks. Upon... More

Wow words can't express the magic of our dive. We went to voyager planning only to snorkel , having watched the dive boat leave on a couple of mornings decided to find out more . David and his team were amazing, having trained in the pool we then got to do 2 supported dives out on the reef. Swimming with... More

Wow - Buccaneer Diving is excellent! Where do we start..? Before our holiday at the Voyager, we contacted David to enquire about our 14 year old son doing his Open Water course, and also with several questions about the diving in general. Both my husband and 16 year old son are experienced divers and my 14 year old was keen... More

Buccaneer Diving guys are a super fun bunch to dive with in Kenya! Both Michael (the gorgeous Frenchman @ the Kilifi site) & David (the gorgeous Belgian @ the Nyali site) as always went out of their way to make sure we were able to take full advantage of all the dive sites we wanted to visit this Christmas.

It was great to have a mixture of relaxation and the challange of completing our PADI Open Water Diver Qualification. Main tip - take the time to do the theory course online before your holiday and you get all the tedious stuff done - no sitting in the classroom when the sun is shining. David and the Buccaneer team based... More

Where do I start? The diving was fantastic (sharks, turtles, lion fish, etc) ,the centre staff were experts in their field- Buccaneer have created at least 6 PADI speciality courses & very professional from start to finish. After our first dive, my girlfriend was taken ill & the manner in which the staff dealt with her was second to none.... More

Our Dive-Instructor at Buccaneer Diving Center in Paje/Zanzibar was Wycliffe, he was a very professional and patient teacher. We had a lot of fun! We did our Open Water Diver there and we were able to do all the theory online at home, so we only had do to the fun-part in our holidays. After 5 h training in the... More

I had the pleasure to dive with Wycliff and Polar from Buccaneer Diving in Paje - Zanzibar this Octobre. The dive centre is really good equipped in terms of materials and instructors and I felt really safe diving with these guys - although this is what you expect of a 5 star diving centre. I'm extremely happy with the service... More

We are a small group of 6 British Sub-Aqua Club members from Bracknell 434 and after visiting Egypt in November for the last 8 years we were looking for something different. Because of the possibility of seeing Whale Sharks we selected Kenya. First I selected Buccaneer because they have centres at a number of locations, they offer Nitrox, had sunk... More
