RatingI was at Goodtime for the last week of march 2026, as I know Lukas already from my time on Koh Phangan. First day he was busy, so I was diving with Edu, who was a nice guy guided me nice and slow as I like it. The next day´s I was diving with Lukas and it was as expected. He´s a really good instructor and guide, I really can reccomend him, his professionalism is absolutly great. We had some very nice cavern and wreck dives.
A very pleasant and child-friendly atmosphere. You can easily spend the whole day there. The beach is very good for Koh Tau.
I completed my Open Water Certification with Goodtime Adventures and had an amazing experience from start to finish. I especially want to thank Ana, who was incredibly patient, calm, and professional throughout the entire course. She took the time to guide me through each skill step by step, explaining everything clearly and thoroughly. Her supportive approach really reassured me and helped build my confidence in the water. At all times, I felt completely safe and well looked after, which made such a difference to my overall experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor - highly recommend!
A fantastic dive center with excellent organization. Our group of five did the Basic Dive and were accompanied by two very friendly and competent instructors, Lydia and Ana.
An absolutely fantastic experience with Goodtime Adventures Scuba Diving. A super friendly team, professional service, and a relaxed atmosphere. You feel safe and well looked after at all times. I can highly recommend them. Ask for Lydia or Ana as instructors when you arrive, and with a bit of luck, you might even get Mike, who can accompany you as a photographer with high-end equipment and capture your dive in incredibly beautiful pictures—all in all, 5 stars!
The introduction to the diving course was excellent; my nervousness disappeared immediately. Lydia, as the diving instructor, is very competent. I had a lot of fun. Great job, and I would definitely do another dive at this diving school anytime.
It’s a focused 1–2 day workshop that bridges the gap between the BSAC Boat Handling Course and the Diver Coxswain Assessment. You’ll gain extra helm time and refine your seamanship under instructor supervision.
The workshop includes a minimum of five hours behind the helm, plus time assisting as crew. You’ll handle real conditions, perform turns, approach moorings, and run diver operations aboard our speedboat.
While not mandatory, it’s highly recommended if you don’t have regular access to a RIB or small boat. It ensures you meet the five-hour helm experience required for the Coxswain Assessment.
Depending on group size, the course runs 1–2 days. It includes instruction, boat use, certification acknowledgment, and personalized feedback from your BSAC instructor.
Yes. You don’t need a diving certification to participate. The workshop focuses purely on seamanship, navigation, and boat-handling skills useful for divers, instructors, and ocean professionals alike.
