I really recommend this place due it's personality and charisma. We got our open water certificate with ease because of an excellent driving instructor named James. With him you feel really relaxed and secure while learning to dive. Thank you for a lovely time Regards team Denmark ;)

The diving was nice, although a bit busy. To do an open water course good enough, when a bit more advanced too busy on the boats. The courses were great though

I did my open water course at Buddha view and would say our instructor James was excellent. I was a little nervous as I tend to be a bit anxious of new things, but James helped me feel safe and confident in what I was doing.

I was a little nervous at first by the instructors made me feel very comfortable in the water. The 3 day open water course was a blast! Really enjoyed it. And there's a beach side bar with BBQ every night. Will come back for sure

Guys there are handy and lovely, but the place is one of the worst of the iland (that has become one of the worst in Thailand). The building is up the sea, no beach at all and the water is dirty. No sand, no place to take the sun. The music at night is high up to 2 a.m. and... More

But I loved the place, so stayed there for 6 more months and did my dive master. The people are very nice, good course instructions. The instructors and dive masters speak almost... More
