RatingExcellent club, excellent instructors. They make you feel good and help with everything you need. Special thanks to the veteran and excellent instructor Shai Koren, he is a professional and dedicated instructor and without him I probably wouldn't have been certified!
Abundant, delicious food with many vegan options! Great service and music 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great two days diving with the team , all the instructors are so nice and make you feel so relaxed . Not over sold at all which so many other boats looked like and the one on one training was next level Thanks to Joe for a great experience and epic memories
Andrea, Liv, and Lydia were all fantastic! They kept us safe, listened to our feedback/questions, and made sure we knew what we were doing. It was our first time diving and it was such a pleasure to complete our open water cert with them. I can't say you'll be as lucky as us, but we were even able to see a whale shark on our last dive! They keep the classes small, have multiple boats, and make the whole process so enjoyable. I'd absolutely recommend them to others who are learning to dive!
We had the greatest time in Goodtime with wonderful instructors. Big thanks to Lydia, Andrea and Liv for giving us the best experience throughout the open water course! We learnt all we need to feel safe while enjoying diving (we even ended up diving with a whale shark on our last day). I could not recommend it more!
Fantastic 3 days to pass our open water diver certification! The instructors and DMTs are fabulous and always helpful, put you in confidence to attend your dive! Cheers and thank you so much to Lydia, Andrea and Liv (Liv x 2, Liv x5748392)
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.
