We completed our Open Water certification with Goodtime on Ko Tao — and we already can’t wait to come back for our Advanced Open Water! We were welcomed with open arms, and the vibes were just super cool from start to finish. A huge, huge thank you to our instructor Lydia! She guided us through the two and a half days in such a calm, professional, and supportive way. She explained everything clearly and always stayed patient and composed. Even in situations that were challenging for us as students while learning new skills, she kept her calm and guided us through with confidence and reassurance. At the same time, we could always laugh together — she brought amazing fun energy while still making us feel completely safe. It was always a great time with her, both above and under water! Also a big thank you to Lukas for his constant good vibes and positive energy. And a special thanks to Mike for the incredible photos! He made everything feel so easy, allowing us to fully enjoy the dives while still capturing awesome underwater pictures. Such a perfect balance. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Five stars without a doubt — we would 100% recommend Goodtime to anyone looking for an unforgettable diving experience on Ko Tao. We’ll definitely be back for our Advanced Open Water! 🌊💙
So happy we chose goodtime Adventures for our „open water diver“ course! The small group sizes and all the instructors made us feel like family rather than just students. The training was professional, but they also made it incredibly fun (and addictive lol) Diving with our instructor Lydia felt more like a fun dive with a long-time friend right from the start!! She and Lukas were the best teachers we could have asked for to get us into this amazing hobby. Highly recommend! You definitely have to book Mike or Beth for pictures as well! Mike was an amazing photographer who joined our last dive and captured all the perfect memories for us to hold on to!
Had an excellent intro to diving with Lukas, Mira, and Ryan. Made my first time diving easy and fun. Highly recommend.
Had a great time, diving instructors Lukas, Ryan and Mira were all fantastic, nice and very professional, would recommend
We had two fantastic dives with Mira! She supported us well with clear communication.
Had a good time on my fun dives with my guide Liv. Then Ryan taught me the advanced techniques and helped me earn my advanced open water certification.
