Incredibly cool experience our guide Ryan was super good and funny and good at teaching in a simple and understandable way. The food at the restaurant was top class and the diving felt safe but was also incredibly exciting so I highly recommend this group. The other guides who were on the trip Dan and Joe were also incredibly nice and cool.

I had a great time getting my SSI certification here. Joe and Liv were lovely instructors and I felt very safe the entire time. Beth and Mike were a great addition to our dives and I can’t wait to see their photos. The food at the club was great and the free beer and t-shirt at the end were greatly appreciated!

I did 4 dives with Goodtime and it was absolutely amazing! The whole team was welcoming, kind, and incredibly professional. You can really feel their years of experience, and they make you feel safe and comfortable from the very beginning. The atmosphere was great. Special shoutout to Logan – diving with him was so much fun! He’s a true professional who knows every detail of the dive sites. We saw so many different fish, corals, and fascinating sea creatures. I always felt completely safe and well taken care of. There are many dive schools on the island, and it can be confusing to choose. If you’re looking for professionals who make you feel welcome and comfortable, and you want truly memorable dives, this is definitely the place to go. Thank you again for everything, I’ll definitely be back!

I did my basic diving course with Lydia and couldn’t recommend her and Goodtime enough. I was very nervous about diving, however Lydia understood this and was extremely clear and patient. She went through safety procedures multiple times when i was confused and expressed her pride and excitement when i successfully executed my skills. She handled my dive with precision, safety and I felt very comfortable in her hands. I’m no longer scared of the water and it’s all thanks to Lydia and Goodtime!!
