Thank you for your comments and I am very sorry that you did not enjoy your first diving experience. As there are no specifics on why you did not feel confident to do a second dive I cannot address them here, but if you would like to drop me an email on info@ buccaneer diving.com I would be happy to...

Completed a double dive with Buccaneer about two days after making first contact with them by email. I had a last minute trip to the coast for business and went with the first outfit that got back to me. I found the place easy enough. Check-in and filling out form was smooth - not filled with the usual misunderstandings and... More

On both our visits we had an excellant instructor in Shaddy who was first class. Filled two novice divers with so much confidence. Have... More

David and his crew were great!! Very well organized and serious about what they do... I would definitely suggest it to everyone who wants to start diving! (and of course who already is certified). I also wanted to thank my instructor Amit !!! It was a great experience.. I will be going back next weekend for a couple more days... More

We did three days of diving with Buccaneer during a 5 night stay at the Voyager Beach Resort (reviewed separately). I had written to them in advance to get prices and book ourselves in plus I had put in a request to go to the vuma caverns as that is the best place to try and find whale sharks. Upon... More

Before our holiday at the Voyager, we contacted David to enquire about our 14 year old son doing his Open Water course, and also with several questions about the diving in general. Both my husband and 16 year old son are experienced divers and my 14 year old was keen... More
