Thanks you so much for allowing us to enjoy such a perfect and professional first diving experience! Starting with the first acquaintance on to the final exam, we had a brilliant time - above and below waterline! :) Thanks so much for guiding us casually through the days! Have a great time and go on as you do, I wouldn't wanna change anything! Cheers Stefan (PADI Open Water Diving Course - September 2011)

Nous avions décidé de faire faire un bapteme de plongée à 3 enfants , ils ont été pris en charge de facon tres professionnelle , avec explication claire et pédagogique ,technique et entrainement en piscine. Ils ont ensuite fait une plongée en mer et cela s'est très bien passé car il était parfaitement préparés et leurs appréhensions avaient disparues . Bravo et merci pour la qualité de votre travail !!! (étant plongeur j'ai vu de nombreux baptemes , jamais à ce niveau de qualité et surtout cette progressivité piscine/mer ) bravo continuez et bonne chance pour la suitre !! (April 2011)

After a lot of dive schools which I asked to make my open water course, Wim was the one who gave me the opportunity to start directly on the day after in salt water, not in a swimming pool. It was great! Absolutelydutely fantastic !!! Now I am certified, jippie !!! The course was pretty individual for me and another guy. So no questions stayed open. I can absolutely recommend this dive-school !! They know how to give You a good education !!! Cheers Wim and all the best....

I have just completed the openwater-course(March 2011), and it was fantastic. Really good dives, with great help on the way. I completly lacked experience before the divecourse, But the instructor, Wim, made me feel confident right away. The E-learning was perfect to learn the theory from, I would recommend it even if you could do it with a book. Great service and staff for a good price!

My girlfriend and I completed the PADI Open Water Diver certification in DivingScool early Feb 2011. The small nervousness pretty much vanished the moment we saw Wim waiting for us at our resort at the very first day of our course. Wim's calming effect made even the harder excercises doable later on under water. As we had done the e-learning portion, we did just a little test at the office and Wim introduced the gear. After that we went to the pool and did several practices. Wim was very instructive, professional and yet really easy-going. The next day we headed to the sea and again a bit nervous how we would do in 10 meters and submerged for almost an hour. Wim told us to relax and was convinced that as soon as we get under the surface we will start enjoying – he was definitely right. We did total two dives that day and two more the next day. The last two dives we felt really comfortable under water as we had been diving for several years. All of the dive sites where great with lot to see in clear water. We couldn't wish for better instructor for anybody doing Open Water or any certificate. Wim, you're the best! Also the rest of the crew where really laid back and entertaining!

Geweldige school Wim! Een betere vind je nergens.

I just ended my Open Water Diver PADI course with Wim and I could highly recommend DivingScool mostly because of individual lessons, high professionalism and competitive prices. Wim is a great teacher with high experience and patience.

Wij zijn net 2 dagen terug uit Thailand en voor iedereen die naar Koh Chang gaat en wil snorkelen zou ik divingscool Koh Chang aanraden. De tocht met de speedboot was voor de kinderen al een attractie op zich en het snorkelen was echt geweldig. En heel fijn....Wim onze begeleider(een Belg maar daar kan hij natuurlijk ook niets aan doen haha) sprak gewoon vloeiend Nederlands. De kinderen hebben echt genoten vooral toen ze eten in hun handen kregen en er bergen gekleurde vissen op hun af kwamen om het uit hun handen te eten. Een super dag gehad! Groetjes Mik

We did our openwater course with DivingScool, it was amasing. Good instructors, good material, it was 4 days of fun. After this experience we made 30 more dives in 6 mounths, we got addicted to it! The life under water is so amasing! Thanks guys and hopefully we see us again

Vielen Dank für vier atemraubende Kurstage in Ban Bao. Einen 1:1 Lehrgang bekommt man nicht alle Tage. An meinen ersten Tauchgang in der offenen See werde ich mich wahrscheinlich ewig erinnern. Angefangen mit dem "Sprung" von der Reling, dem fast schwerelosen Abtauchen, der Rush-Hour an der Oberfläche... bis hin zum Aufforsten des Korallenriffs. Einfach großartig. Nie hatte ich das Gefühl von Unbehagen oder Panik während unserer Tauchgänge. Deine erfrischende Art war eine willkommene Abwechslung zu den 36 Grad außerhalb des Wassers. Sich mit jemanden austauschen zu dürfen, der anscheinend seine Berufung gefunden hat, war mir wirklich ein Vergnügen. Falls du je wieder ein Restaurant eröffnen solltest, möchte ich unbedingt eine Einladung zur Premiere. Viel Glück bei allem. Greetz André (Bad Dürkheim, Germany)

I just got back from diving with DivingScool about a week ago and I wanted to let everyone know what a great experience I had with one of the instructors named Wim! When I arrived in Koh Chang, I was pretty certain that there wasn't a single thing that I needed to see in the Ocean bad enough to have to go through the skills and stress of Open Water Dive Certification. However, scuba came very natural to my significant other in the pool and he really wanted to get Dive certified.... I had completed my pool and classroom in the United States and did not do well with scuba diving in the pool, even though I completed the pool course. Once I arrived in Thailand, I spoke with Wim and he wanted to work with me in the pool to see if he could help me with some of the problems that I was having and my fears. After being in the pool, I was still pretty nervous, but thought I would give ! the Ocean a try and Wim encouraged and assured me that he would be right there with me if I needed anything or started to panic. Once we were in the Ocean, I was still really nervous, but Wim was really patient with me and descended with me at my own pace. Before I knew it, I was swimming with the fish 10-12 meters deep! There were many times during my first three dives that I would have exited the water if Wim had not been there to remind me to stay calm and make me feel safe. I was 100% sure that if something went wrong with the dive, Wim would know what to do and how to save me and that's what helped me stay in the water, even when I was feeling uncertain. Without Wim, I would not be dive certified and I would not have known how great diving is! Now, I can't wait for my next vacation to go diving and I am now confident about Scuba Diving! My significant other and I thank you, because now we have another hobby that we both love! Thanks so much! You were the best instructor ever and I would recommend anyone to you for their diving needs! Christi and Ryan Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent tuition on our 4 day PADI open water course. You were patient, clear with instructions and good humoured throughout. We really enjoyed it and didn't realise how much we'd appreciate learning with the undivided attention of Wim until we saw some of the other companies with 20+ divers on one boat. Thanks so much, we had an amazing time and we now have a brilliant new hobby!

Sabine Stam

We hebben het erg leuk gehad en ondanks het niet al te beste weer, erg genoten van de duiklessen. We zijn toch erg enthousiast geworden en hopen bij een volgende vakantie op meer duik avonturen...nog wel een jaartje wachten. Succes met alles en wie weet tot ziens, groeten Sabine Stam - en Steef, Dieuwertje,Tessel en Thijs -.

Wim taught me from "Zero to Hero" during the 3 months internship. I learned more then diving and gained knowledge that helps me be a better divemaster. Having a good insight what GoPro is about and what the lifestyle is like, I know my adventure has only just begun. Cheers Wim, Frank and Mike!

We can highly recommend DivingScool, Wim gave us a very detailed and motivating introduction the evening before. One could really feel the spark and how he manages this diving center "with his whole heart"! He also has a very good feeling for his clients and with him and his pedagogical tact we also overcame little fears and had  a great diving experience! The dive sites are just fantastic- corals all over, colourful fish, schools of fish- it felt just like diving in an aquarium! We had a wonderful day and really enjoyed our dives- you should do it, too!
