I had an amazing experience doing the 3-day open water scuba course with Shai!! He was extremely knowledgeable and encouraging, and I felt confident and safe the whole time. Each day was brilliant, learning and practicing new skills while having some fun at the same time. I couldn’t recommend this experience any more highly!

I can’t recommend Goodtime Adventures enough! From start to finish, everything was smooth, fun, and incredibly well organized. Shoutout to my amazing instructors, Shai and Ana, for making me feel confident, safe, and relaxed underwater. Their positive energy and professionalism made the whole experience even better. And a huge thank you to Beth for taking the most incredible underwater photos! I absolutely love every single shot. Thank you all for such an unforgettable diving experience. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Koh Tao!

On June 29th, I did a refresh dive with Lydia as instructor. It had been quite a while since my last dive, and I thoroughly refreshed the basics, both theory and practice. Lydia is amazing! She is a skilled communicator, has a pleasant voice, knows what she is talking about, and takes her time with you. The two dives were relaxed, and she knows how to avoid the crowds underwater. I felt safe and am entering the water again with full confidence. Thank you! And Bente... thank you for your tips! Regards, Joris
