Had a blast, after a long time not diving booked 3 days of morning diving trips. The staff was very welcoming and professional. A lot of thanks to Peter, Becky, Anna and Lukas.

If you are looking to dive and have a good time look no further. I recently earned my open water and advanced open water. It was truly an amazing experience! Upon arriving I was welcomed with a great sense of community and as the course went on I could truly see the quality of training you receive from the good time staff. The instructors at Goodtime are fantastic they breakdown the complexities of diving and give both textbook examples and techniques from their own diving experience. They never rush a student and never make you feel dumb for asking silly questions. These instructors have a great sense of leadership and a keen eye for safety. The front desk staff are super helpful and some of the nicest people you may ever meet. I cannot thank them enough for answering any and all questions. After deciding to purchase my own mask they helped me find the right fit and even had it delivered in about 20 minutes so I could have it for my next dive! A huge shoutout to my underwater family Max, Tim, Lydia, Ana, Lucas, Logan, Charlie, and Liv Also Beth for being an amazing underwater photographer!!!

I had a wonderful time with Goodtime, we went climbing there with Charlie (real routes! I advise it being a climber) and had our open water dive with Lydia, Livia and Andrea. I was so happy with the course that I went to the Advanced right after! Team is amazing, I feel lucky we had such good instructors, with good vibes and the well-applied pedagogy 🙏
