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.
An absolutely fantastic experience with Goodtime Adventures Scuba Diving. A super friendly team, professional service, and a relaxed atmosphere. You feel safe and well looked after at all times. I can highly recommend them. Ask for Lydia or Ana as instructors when you arrive, and with a bit of luck, you might even get Mike, who can accompany you as a photographer with high-end equipment and capture your dive in incredibly beautiful pictures—all in all, 5 stars!
The introduction to the diving course was excellent; my nervousness disappeared immediately. Lydia, as the diving instructor, is very competent. I had a lot of fun. Great job, and I would definitely do another dive at this diving school anytime.
It was a fantastic diving experience. The instructors, Anna and Lydia, were sensational, and I felt safe and well looked after at all times. Everything was explained simply and perfectly. I can absolutely recommend it.
Another incredibly amazing experience! It was my fourth dive. Since it's been a while since my last dive, I was grateful for the excellent instruction here. Highly recommended! A huge thank you to our dive instructor, Lydia – thanks for having us! Hope to see you again soon!
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.
You can earn an Open Water Diver certification with any major dive organization. An SSI diver can dive at PADI centers worldwide, and vice versa.
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 Open Water or PADI 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 using an 80/20 approach. Instructors can adapt 20% of the course to match each student’s learning pace.
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.
