I did my very first dive at Goodtime Adventures and enjoyed it so much! Our instructor Shai did a great job to make everyone feel safe and being able to enjoy our time underwater to the fullest. Our dive was accompanied by Mike, an underwater photographer, thanks to him I now have beautiful memories from my first ever dive. Thank you all so much!

Today I did a trial dive with GoodTimes Adventures! Lydia was our instructor, and along with Joe and Becky on the boat and in the water, it was a fantastic experience! Even though I was incredibly nervous, the instructors made sure I felt comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommended, and I would definitely come back.

There are SO many dive companies on koh Tao and I’m glad I ended up with this one! I did a couple fun dives with them and it was a great experience, the boat wasn’t crowded like other dive boats and the vibe was very relaxed (sometimes it’s a bit stressy when there’s a million groups all trying to do their own thing). Huge shoutout to Edu for being an amazing guide - he really put in a lot of effort to make the dives fun, enjoyable and safe. I’ll be doing all the rest of my diving here with them for sure.
