What they say about us
EXCELLENT Based on 171 reviews Posted on Twan LamensTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had 2 fundives with Armand. The dive sights were really nice, aswell as Armand and the other staff. Would definitely recommend this Dive School!Posted on manuel giulianiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!Posted on Dorota DudekTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Posted on Jorge GómezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 👌Posted on AnastasiiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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. Ich hatte zu Beginn Probleme mit dem Druckausgleich und er hat viel Rücksicht darauf genommen, sodass es mit der Zeit deutlich besser wurde. 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. Erwähnenswert ist auch das inkludierte und leckere Mittagessen in wiederverwendbaren Lunchboxen. Nach dem Kurs absolvierten wir zusätzlich sieben weitere Fun Dives und erkundeten die schönsten Tauchgebiete, die wir bisher gesehen haben! Bei den Fun Dives tauchten wir mit Armand, Sergio und Carme - vielen Dank für die unfassbar schöne Zeit!Posted on P. M.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 ZeitPosted on Jule DiedrichsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can highly recommend it, nice riffs, nice people and you’ll definitely have a great time with bombona diving :)Posted on Katja FuchsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Posted on Josefine Cole BertelsenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. «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!Posted on Sandra MäkeläTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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
