Our students came back more confident, connected, and inspired. The trip was exceptionally well-organized, and we’ll definitely be working with Big Ocean Dive again!
Joined my 12 year old daughter for her open water certification in Tioman. YY, the instructor, was very good and patient and really ensured the skills were practiced and learned.
Family friendly, professional and fun! We had a fantastic trip to the Maldives with both experienced and beginner divers. Memories for a lifetime!
