Insights from our divers
Had 2 fundives with Armand. The dive sights were really nice, aswell as Armand and the other staff. Would definitely recommend this Dive School!
Non a caso sono tornato da loro! Dopo koh tao è stata la volta di koh lipe. Stessa scuola,stesse vibes! I ragazzi simpatici,professionali e affidabili mi hanno aiutato in tutto ciò di cui ho avuto bisogno. In particolar modo ringrazio il mio istruttore Kile, che è stato molto gentile e mi ha aiutato a mettermi a mio agio, sia dentro che fuori dal mare! Non posso che ringraziarvi e consigliare La Bombona diving!
I did the try dive and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience! The team makes everything to make it smooth and safe for the first-timers. I appreciated the time they took to explain every detail and ensure everyone is at ease. While the first dive is a little technical as you need to get used to the gear and technics, the second one is incredible! The reef so rich and beautiful. And I recommend take the photos too. Beautiful souvenir.
Gente súper bien preparada a nivel material, profesional y muy cercanos. El sitio de buceo esta brutal y el barco desde se hacen las inmersiones una gozada. Por otro lado creo q no hay muchos sitios donde te hablen español aparte del inglés y se agradece. Totalmente recomendable 👌
Wir haben mit La Bombona Diving unseren Explorer 30 (äquivalent zu Advanced Open Water) absolviert und sind überglücklich mit der Wahl der Tauchschule! Das ganze Team ist großartig und herzlich. Unser Tauchlehrer Armand hat alles bestens erklärt, gutes Feedback gegeben und dabei immer auf uns geachtet. Die Zertifizierung von RAID (Explorer 30) fanden wir persönlich qualitativ und technisch besser als die von PADI (Advanced Open Water). La Bombona Diving hat zudem ein eigenes kleines Schiff, damit waren wir flexibler mit den Tauchorten und es gab eine schöne familiäre Atmosphäre.
Ich hatte 10 Mega tolle Tauchgänge Sie planen die Abfahrzeiten und Tauchseiten nach den Gezeiten und starte früh am Morgen So hatten wir die Divesites fast immer für uns alleine und mit meist geringer Strömung. Da es nur ein kleines süßes Boot ist sind es nicht so viele Personen. Danke für die tolle Zeit
I can highly recommend it, nice riffs, nice people and you’ll definitely have a great time with bombona diving :)
I booked a try dive with this operator and it was such a great time! We were a small group of three girls (for try dives they take max 4 people per trip) which was very comfortable. As we additionally booked their photographer we had two professionals with us. Both taught us a lot about diving and the marine life. Even thought we were beginners we could enjoy a real diving experience in the sea around lipe with two stops. I loved everything! Thank you for the amazing day.
«Try dive» var virkelig en av de beste dagene meg og venninnen min har hatt på turen vår! Så utrolig gøy og instruktørene gjorde opplevelsen veldig trygg! Hadde vi hatt flere dager på koh lipe hadde vi 100% tatt dykker sertifikatet her!
Loved diving with La Bombona <3 I did two fun dives, my instructor Sergio and the whole staff were so sweet, helpful and professional. Boat was comfy, lunch was a great bonus, and the dive sites were innncredible – my best dive so far! Would’ve loved to dive more with them if I had more time, highly recommend
Really. The 40,000 ฿ covers everything on the What's included list — equipment, unlimited ocean diving during the program, theory, Marine Park fees, and all certification and membership fees. The only extra is the mandatory dive insurance (70 THB). No surprise bill at the end.
Yes — RAID certifications are recognised all over the world, and the Divemaster is your professional-level ticket into the industry. As a Divemaster you can lead certified divers at any dive school in the world, regardless of which agency the school teaches — no crossover needed.
We recommend you book at least 3 nights in a hotel for when you arrive, and we'll advise you on the best places to look for longer-term, more affordable accommodation once you're here.
Most nationalities get 60 days on arrival and can extend for an additional 30 days, so you shouldn't need a special visa. That said, it's always a good idea to check with the Thai embassy in your country for the latest rules, as they can change from time to time.
Absolutely. Plenty of our candidates do it purely for the love of diving — two months of unlimited diving, skills sharpened to a professional level, and a much deeper understanding of how everything underwater actually works. You'll come out a far better diver, whether or not you ever brief a group.
