⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I did my Open Water and Advanced Open Water certifications with Goodtime Adventures and honestly it was a lifetime experience. A huge thank you to Chris for being such an amazing instructor throughout the whole journey. Super chill, patient and genuinely fun to dive with, while also being incredibly professional and reassuring underwater. You can really tell he cares about his students and wants everyone to feel confident and enjoy every moment. He made the whole experience feel relaxed, safe and unforgettable. The dives were amazing and the overall vibe with the team was great. Huge thanks as well to Lydia, Liv, Fabio, Anna and Mika for making the whole experience even better everyone was so friendly and welcoming from day one. Definitely recommend Goodtime and Chris if you’re thinking about doing your diving certifications in Koh Tao 🤿🌴

Had an amazing (and crazy) experience diving with Goodtime for my Advanced course! The Night Dive was probably one of the craziest moments of my life and I will never forget about it. Gigantic shoutout to Lydia who has been an incredible instructor and who has taken me through 7 dives in total. She was always patient, fun and energetic at all times, always with the biggest smile on her face while showcasing top professionalism. 🫶🏼💗 I will definitely dive with Goodtime again the next time I come back to Koh Tao!

We’ve just spent the last two days of our Thailand Contiki with Goodtime Adventures and it has been the absolute highlight of our trip! The first day we went out snorkelling around the Island of Koh Tao. Liv, Ben & Chris made sure we all had the best time, found the coolest snorkelling sites & kept the party going all day. We came back to do our Basic Diver Training. Fabio was my instructor and he was brilliant. He made me feel so safe, is an excellent teacher and could tell he just loved his job. The rest of the team including Lydia & Chris were also fantastic and made the day run so smoothly. Mike was also awesome and I can’t wait to see the photos. Thank you, thank you, thank you! We’ll be back to complete our certification.
