During your workshop, you’ll:

  • Build on voyage planning and weather awareness
  • Practice launch and recovery procedures
  • Improve accuracy in high- and low-speed turns
  • Hone diver drop-off and pickup maneuvers
  • Strengthen emergency response and man-overboard skills
  • Increase confidence handling different boat types

First outdoor climbing experience ever, and fortunate to have done it with the best instructor, Andrew! He was not only extremely patient, but also funny which helped lightened the mood and calm the pre-climb nerves. Although it seemed daunting at first, Andrew selected routes with difficulty levels suitable to our climbing skill for us to try. The entire day passed so quickly and I only wish we had more time to tackle more routes! Will definitely visit again on a return trip to Koh Tao. I cannot recommend Goodtime enough for a safe and amazing day climbing outdoors!
