5.0/ 5

I recently completed the 5-day advanced underwater photography course with Ash at BICD in Utila, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience! Ash is an exceptional instructor who turned my limited photography skills into something truly impressive in just 5 days.

As a beginner, Ash’s clear breakdown of photography basics in the classroom laid a solid foundation before we even hit the water. Unlike previous courses, the one-on-one format allowed me to ask questions freely, ensuring I absorbed every bit of knowledge. Even when faced with housing issues with my own set up, Ash’s adaptability and expertise ensured we still captured fantastic shots.
The course was well-structured, focusing on a different topic each day and seamlessly applying the skills we honed. From camera care to ambient lighting basics, buoyancy techniques, photo composition, and fish behavior/tracking, every aspect was covered. Ash’s attention to detail extended to post-dive activities, with daily lessons on Lightroom and Photoshop enhancing our editing skills.

Overall, this course exceeded my expectations and was worth every penny. I now have skills and knowledge that can be applied to other areas of photography on land and in my business as well. I’m excited to return for Ash’s strobe course, and I highly recommend BICD’s Advanced Underwater Photography course to anyone looking to elevate their skills. Five stars without a doubt! – via google

5.0/ 5

I did my Divemaster with BICD and I can only say positive things. All the staff were knowledgeable, friendly, fun and highly professional. The facilities were great, with good quality equipment, a really nice bar and restaurant on site, comfortable boats and a beautiful dock to enjoy the sunset.

There are many dive centres on the island but BICD is the only one with a pool so you can carry on training even on those bad weather days. The only hyperbaric chamber on the island is located here, and we got to take a tour of it. There are also so many options to take your diving further, with tech diving, instructor courses every month, conservation internships with WSORC, and nearly all specialties. I thought long and hard about where I wanted to do my Divemaster and I know I made the right decision.

Thank you so much to all the staff and I look forward to seeing you again soon ???? – via google

5.0/ 5

Habe meinen Rescue, Divemaster + Instructor Kurs hier gemacht. Kann nur positives über das BICD sagen. Durchweg zu 100% professionelle Tauchlehrer, sehr schöne Anlage mit der Lodge und der Möglichkeit für die confined sessions ans Dock statt den Pool zu gehen, tolle Gemeinschaft mit dem Staff und den Interns sowie einfach eine freundliche und fröhliche Atmosphäre. Die Nähe zur Chamber + WSORC bieten zudem weitere interessante optionen, die regelmäßig im Rahmen des Internships angeboten werden. Im IDC wird man meiner Erfahrung nach ‘overprepared’, was allerdings nichts schlechtes ist. Auf das anschließende IE war ich zumindest top vorbereitet!
Insgesamt kann ich das BICD zu 100% weiterempfehlen und werde definitiv wieder kommen. Das free diving for life versprechen mit Abschluss des Divemasters macht diese Entscheidung nur noch leichter! – via google

Did my DM here and highly recommend it! The instructors are all incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. They’re thorough in their instruction for all level of courses and make sure that you really feel comfortable with things before moving on to the next. They’re also very organized and are able to accommodate people on different schedules or with different timeframes. Thanks BICD! – via google

Came to rack up dives, left with an AOW and nitrox/wreck specialities. Still as fine a place as I remembered to work on your diving skills on Utila. I guess I have to come back at least one more time for my DM. Special thanks to my boy Instructor John. He is one dedicated bro ?? – via google

5.0/ 5

I did my EFF, Rescue and Divemaster with BICD and can really recommend the Divecenter! They are very organised and professional but also teach you everything in a natural way. They have a lot of experienced instructors which will help and coach you to get a better diver. Also, all the staff was very friendly and gave you the feeling of being at home there. I‘m looking forward to come back to Utila and dive again with BICD! – via google

I completed my OW two years ago with BICD, and returned to complete my AOW this past week. The staff at BICD are incredible. I cannot recommend BICD enough if you want proper, safe, thorough, fun and enjoyable training. The knowledge and skills gained through their instruction have made me such a confident diver. I am so thankful for my experiences with BICD. From the instructors to the captains to the Lodge staff to the interns, thank you! You are all rockstars. – via google

5.0/ 5

I had an exceptional experience at BICD this past September. They were incredibly responsive and helped me organize a program to complete 3 specialties in just under a week. They picked me up from the airport and I was able to stay in an apartment on campus with a kitchen and balcony which was incredible considering the early scuba mornings. The restaurant they have on sigh it a great place to study and the food is delicious and very reasonably priced. The community is wonderful with everyone supporting each other and spending time outside the dives and class time, so I am definitely going back to do my dm in the future. As for the diving, my deep instructor, Kelsey, was beyond kind, informed and professional. I had a lot of fun on all my dives with her and feel very confident in my deep diving ability thanks to that course. Additionally, I took the navigation course and my instructor, Steven, was one of the most experienced divers I have met in my 10 years of diving. He was flexible with class times so we were able to get through the course work at a faster pace without sacrificing any understanding. I went from not knowing how to use a compass and just following the dive master without knowing where I was while diving, to feeling confident in my ability to remember exactly where I have gone in the dive and how to get to my end point. I am so grateful for my experience here and I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in diving whether you have never done it before or are a very experienced diver, they have something to offer you. It’s well worth the difficulty of traveling to Utila! – via Google

I had the best experience at the Bay Island College of Diving! I did my open water certification and adventure diver certification here. They were very flexible with my schedule and made sure I could accomplish everything I wanted! All of the staff and instructors were so welcoming, kind, and professional. They also made sure I had comfortable housing for the whole duration of my trip in Utila. They made it so hard to leave! I highly recommend diving with them! – via Google

5.0/ 5

(Translated by Google) An unimaginable and unforgettable experience I lived doing my Divemaster with the Bay Island College of Diving team. Loving the ocean and finding a whole team that connects you with it and teaches you to be safe in it, makes you feel that it was worth it and that you made the best decision. The quality of the teaching, the organization, the diving equipment, the study and diving environment, the concern and help with others, among many other qualities, are excellent. I specifically highlight the patience and willingness they had with my level of English, I never felt discriminated against for coming from Latin America, and that is worth a lot to me, because I felt confident in making mistakes and I was able to learn the different modules of the course without any problem. Thank you very much to the whole team and to my colleagues, this experience will always be in my heart. They are the best, I love them!

Una experiencia inimaginable e inolvidable viví haciendo mi Divemaster con el equipo de Bay Island College of Diving. Amar el océano y encontrar todo un equipo que te conecta con él y que te enseña a estar a salvo en él, te hace sentir que valió la pena y que tomaste la mejor decisión. La calidad de la enseñanza, la organización, los equipos para bucear, el ambiente de estudio y de buceo, la preocupación y ayuda con el otro, entre muchas otras cualidades, son excelentes. Resalto puntualmente la paciencia y la disposición que tuvieron con mi nivel de inglés, nunca me sentí discriminada por venir de Latinoamérica, y eso para mi vale mucho, porque sentí confianza en cometer errores y pude aprender los diferentes módulos del curso sin ningún problema. Muchas gracias a todo el equipo y a mis compañeros, esta experiencia siempre estará en mi corazón. Son los mejores, los quiero! – via Google
