We had the opportunity to dive with Goodtime during our stay in Koh Tao. The center has a pleasant atmosphere, and the dives are well-prepared. Our instructor, Mira, made us feel very well taken care of and, during her free time on the boat, she talked about what we could see underwater.

Just completed my open water with Good time adventure. Edu was an excellent teacher, both in the classroom and getting familiar with the equipment in the pool. Went diving with Lydia who was a delight and very engaging. Anna, Becca, Lisa, and Mira joined us on the boat for our final dive and each of them were just as friendly and helpful as eachother. Can’t forget about the lovely food chef Eimear cooks up in the kitchen. Was a great overall experience and I would highly recommend!

I was at Goodtime for the last week of march 2026, as I know Lukas already from my time on Koh Phangan. First day he was busy, so I was diving with Edu, who was a nice guy guided me nice and slow as I like it. The next day´s I was diving with Lukas and it was as expected. He´s a really good instructor and guide, I really can reccomend him, his professionalism is absolutly great. We had some very nice cavern and wreck dives.

A fantastic dive center with excellent organization. Our group of five did the Basic Dive and were accompanied by two very friendly and competent instructors, Lydia and Ana.
