I went scuba diving for the first time and it was truly incredible! I was so nervous, but Lydia(the best instructor ever) helped me through the entire dive and it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! Could not recommend more!!

We did the open water training. We enjoyed a lot the place to start (nice restaurant and bar by the beach with amazing sunset) and all the staff was great. Most importantly Ana (our teacher) was very thoughtful, knowledgeable, we felt super safe diving and we had a lot of fun 😁 I absolutely recommend to go there 👌🏼

This is a special place, with amazing people 🙌 Having done basic dive training on the island at the start of the month with Goodtime, we decided to return so I could complete my open water certification. Fabio is an incredible instructor and an incredible human with it 👏. He made the course really enjoyable and straightforward. We were also very lucky to see some amazing marine life 👌. Whether you're on the boat or at the bar, the atmosphere at Goodtime is always relaxed and positive. That is partly due to the stunning location but is heavily influenced by the Goodtime team. Fabio, Anna, Beth, Mike, Chris, Shy and everyone else at Goodtime will make you feel welcome and at ease. Awesome people and incredible experiences, deliver so much more than just a Goodtime 🫡

I had a great experience with this school! I did the 2.5 day Open Water course and when I lost my nerves due to panic, everyone was so nice and empathetic towards me. I really felt like it was their priority for me to feel comfortable and have a positive first diving experience. Thank you Shai, Carmen and Charlie, for your support and patience, and for creating a solution that made me come back for the third day, finish the course, get the license despite everything and most importantly, have a good time! 🩵🐠🤙🏽
