Scuba Diving on Koh Tao
At Goodtime, we offer a full range of scuba diving courses accredited by SSI (Scuba Schools International), however we can also teach PADI (Professional Association of Dive Instructors) courses on request. From beginner certifications; through continuing education with advanced courses, and all the way up to professional level training – we have you covered. All trips are run from one of our two purpose built dive boats directly from the beach right in front of our shop, and we are the only Koh Tao diving centre to offer speedboat diving for advanced courses and fun diving. Our vessels take 2 to 35 divers, ensuring more comfortable journeys and less time waiting for other groups to do their thing.
Student numbers on both courses and fun dives are restricted to four per instructor, allowing you to get the most out of your time with us. Bigger groups can be accommodated if required though; for group sizes above the standard four, we simply provide you with two members of staff! Unlike most other Koh Tao diving centres we stagger our departure times, allowing a later start (more sleepy time for you!) and arrival time at dive sites, so even at the most popular locations you will see more fish and less other divers!
