Such a lovely group of people. Professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Would highly recommended for anyone wanting to dive in Koh Tao. Thank you Liv, Lydia, Julia, Shai and Char
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! 🩵🐠🤙🏽
Diving with good times was an amazing experience! Everything about it was great but what really made it so amazing were the dive instructors. Thank you so much to Ana and Fabio for making it such an unforgettable experience! Ana was an amazing instructor to my boyfriend who was getting his dive certification, and lead us on two fun dives. She made us feel welcome from the start and so safe the whole time! It had been 10 years since my last dive and Fabio lead me in a refresher course and made me feel totally comfortable diving again! 10/10 experience would recommend to anyone interested in diving on koh tao! And the food here is delicious too :)
Well deserved 5 star. I had gone to do my open water dive course, without having any prior knowledge, and I came out feeling so empowered lol. Chris was my main instructor, the patience of this man under water was a 10, very professional approach. Had taken a class from Anna also, which was very calming. She’s extremely good at explaining things peacefully. Lydia, also a dive instructor, present for almost all our dives brought lot of energy and calmness which resonated pretty well. Also the restaurant staff members are extremely polite and welcoming meet the whole trip a complete bliss. Definitely looking forward to do the advanced courses sometime during September.
