Mira is a fantastic divemaster! She helped me tremendously with the refresher course; I loved it! Mira also has other great tips!
I made my Advanced OW with Goodtime Adventures. It was the perfect experience right there. The people were very friendly in general and Max did an excellent job as a dive instructor. I felt very safe all the time and I had a lot of fun during the course. 😊
After two months of intensive training, tons of fun, and many wonderful experiences, I'm proud but also a little sad that I've now completed my Divemaster certification. I'd like to sincerely thank everyone who accompanied me on this journey for the tips, tricks, pleasant conversations, and activities off the water! Even the somewhat dreaded snorkel test will forever remain a cherished memory. It was simply fantastic and an incredibly satisfying conclusion to a phenomenal time. Ana, Lydia, Ezgi, Ryan, Mira, T2, Joe, Max, Andrea, Shai, Bart, and Charly, thank you so much for everything. Lydia, Gary, and Gilly, all the best and have fun for the rest of your training! Kwan, thank you so much for the excellent food when I was out on the boat longer than usual and for all the lovely conversations. A heartfelt thank you also goes to all the wonderful people behind the bar and in the kitchen of the Goodtimes Bar (Nini, Myo, Jo, etc.) – you're doing an outstanding job! Thank you so much for all the delicious food! Eimear, you're not only a master in the water, but also when it comes to food and drink. The next few Saturdays are going to be extremely tough without your fantastic spare ribs. Last but not least, Lukas – what an amazing guy!! Thank you so much for the gentle introduction to the DMT program for my ears. I learned so much from you – and not just about diving. You're a true role model, yet still so much fun! It's an honor to be part of the Goodtimes family.
Did my rescue diver with Ana, she’s the BESTEST OF THE BEST! Liv and Michi were the assistants, amazing experience!
Big thanks to @Lydia and Goodtime for an epic OW course. She made the whole experience so fun and stress-free. If you’re on the fence, look no further. This is 100% the spot for the best vibes and diving! 🤿❤️
Me and my friend did the refreshers course and two fun dives!! It was worth every penny the guides were amazing !!! Shay, ana and Mira !!! They are the best 💯
