Wow wow wow, thanks Mike and Beth for the unforgettable dives, photos and chats. Awesome DM that got us to a whale shark, my first and damn it was amazing. See you soon
I had such an incredible time diving with Goodtime Adventures. The whole team was professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. Special shoutout to Lydia, my instructor — she was absolutely fantastic! Her calm, patient, and encouraging teaching style made me feel confident and safe from start to finish. She explained everything clearly, had a great sense of humor, and made the dives both fun and educational. If you’re thinking about doing your diving course or just fun dives in Koh Tao, I couldn’t recommend this place enough. Easily one of the highlights of my trip. 🌊🐠
So glad I came across Goodtime Adventures to carry out my open water certification. Lydia my dive instructor is the ultimate professional whose passion for diving shines through. Lydia made it such an enjoyable experience and gave me all the confidence I ever needed. I highly recommend Goodtime Adventures if wanting to dive Ko Tao.
I had an amazing time learning to dive with Lydia! She was patient, professional, and made me feel completely safe and confident from start to finish. It was great to be taught by someone who has a real passion for diving. Thank you! I’d also like to thank Lukas for helping in and out of the boat. They have a great dive team and I’ll be sure to tell my friends coming to Koh Tao to learn with Goodtime adventures!
A particularly enjoyable day, the guide Ryan took us on two dives from the reef. Quality equipment, professional and very fun
Scuba Diving in Koh Tao has been very popular for years, we have some of Thailand’s best dive sites and great diving conditions all year round. Our most popular course is the SSI Open Water Diver course which takes 2.5 days to complete and allows to to dive all over the world once you are certified. This course is ideal for beginners who want to get Scuba certified on Koh Tao.
If you are short on time the SSI Basic Diver is for you! This is a half-day experience where you can dip your toes in and explore the underwater world.
Any of the dive organisations in the world can give you the Open Water license, and with it you can dive in every dive centre in the world for the rest of your life – an SSI diver can of course dive in a PADI centre or the other way round, for example.
However, with SSI you do get benefits:
Online Learning
While most organisations offer online learning, not all of them offer it free of charge and can end up racking up quite the bill. SSI offers your learning materials for free as part of your course registration and is easy to navigate using the MySSI app. The app is regularly updated and also offers additional free courses like the ´Try Diving´ and the ‘Blue Oceans‘ for you to enhance your scuba diving knowledge.
Recognition Ratings
SSI do things a little differently to other diving agencies, they continue to recognise your advancement in diving whether you are enrolled in a course or not. When you reach certain milestones you will be awarded recognition status. This is why we encourage specialities over the SSI Advanced Adventurer or Advanced Open Water courses. With SSI once you complete 4 speciality courses and 24 dives you will automatically be rewarded with Advanced Open Water recognition status. Taking this route allows you to explore your passions underwater without being restricted to one exploration dive per specialty! Don’t forget we offer discounts on bundles too!
Flexibility
SSI allows its professionals to teach with an 80/20 approach meaning that the instructor can adapt 20% of the course to fit the pace of learning, ensuring a student focused training programme worked around the needs of the students – after all everyone learns at different paces.
The minimum age to learn to scuba dive and become certified is ten years old. If the diver is between 10-14 they will be awarded with a Junior SSI Open Water Certification that will automatically upgrade to Open Water Diver once they turn 15.
However, the SSI Explorers program provides options for children aged six and up to experience diving and snorkeling in very shallow water.

Yes, a basic level of in-water ability is required to scuba dive. For certain courses, you’ll need to complete a water fitness evaluation before heading into the open water. This includes either a 200-meter unaided swim or a 300-meter swim using a mask, snorkel, and fins. These requirements ensure your safety and confidence during your underwater adventures.
