My husband and I had an exceptional experience diving with Island Diving in St. Bart, and it’s all thanks to Birdy. His extensive knowledge and passion for the ocean make every dive an unforgettable adventure. Birdy’s expertise is evident not just in his superb guidance, but also in his deep commitment to marine conservation. His dedication to preserving the underwater world adds a meaningful dimension to each dive. The diving itself is absolutely incredible—crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life, and stunning coral formations. Birdy is undoubtedly the most trustworthy dive instructor on the island, and we can’t wait to return for more dives with him. Highly recommended, thank you for everything Birdy!!!

I had never been scuba diving before, even though my wife and daughter received their advanced certification on St. Barth from Birdy. On our most recent trip to St. Barth, I finally took the step and decided to dive. Birdy was amazing!! He was very very patient and helped to calm my fears about my first dive. He thoroughly explained everything we needed to know beforehand, and quizzed us to make certain it was clear. Then we took the plunge. Birdy was right next to me the entire 45 minute dive, and helped me as went along. He pointed every bit of sea wildlife and various coral formations. Two days later I took my second dive with Birdy, and again, an amazing experience. As with the first drive he was patient, kind, and I never felt uneasy about anything that happened. I can not make a higher recommendation for Birdy and his company, Island Diving. He has vast experience and is fully accommodating. Patient. Deeply knowledgable. And made the entire experience fun and educational. He is really a terrific person to know and dive with. Nick Devor2024-06-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Birdy is the best! An experienced & effective educator that makes everyone feel comfortable and confident in the water. He even shared some of his homegrown star fruit once we resurfaced! Don’t waste your time going anywhere else. We can’t wait to dive with Birdy again. Droin Fanny2024-06-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I had a great experience with Birdy at Island Diving! He and the team were super professional every step of the way during my scuba certification. He also taught me a lot about the local reef, namely everything in it and also how to preserve and protect it.
