I did my very first dive at Goodtime Adventures and enjoyed it so much! Our instructor Shai did a great job to make everyone feel safe and being able to enjoy our time underwater to the fullest. Our dive was accompanied by Mike, an underwater photographer, thanks to him I now have beautiful memories from my first ever dive. Thank you all so much!
Great scuba diving refresher with Goodtime Adventures ! Thanks to the great team Joe, Nicky, Lydia and Edouardo. Big up to Edouardo who fought the crazy fish 🐟
A huge thank you to Lydia for this unforgettable day! Thanks to her expertise and clear explanations, I was able to enjoy scuba diving safely and create lasting memories. Lydia was incredibly helpful, patiently answering all our questions and guiding us throughout the experience.
Today I did a trial dive with GoodTimes Adventures! Lydia was our instructor, and along with Joe and Becky on the boat and in the water, it was a fantastic experience! Even though I was incredibly nervous, the instructors made sure I felt comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommended, and I would definitely come back.
I did the refresher with 3 more dives after. Everything works super flexible and easy:) the team is very kind and welcoming. I brought my boyfriend with for a try dive. He was in best hands with Lukas! Thank you 🤩especially a huge thanks to Becki, she was my dive instructor and I felt very safe with her. I had a lot of fun and a good time. We can highly recommend this place 🤙🏼
There are SO many dive companies on koh Tao and I’m glad I ended up with this one! I did a couple fun dives with them and it was a great experience, the boat wasn’t crowded like other dive boats and the vibe was very relaxed (sometimes it’s a bit stressy when there’s a million groups all trying to do their own thing). Huge shoutout to Edu for being an amazing guide - he really put in a lot of effort to make the dives fun, enjoyable and safe. I’ll be doing all the rest of my diving here with them for sure.
