RatingAmazing dive Logan is the best
I had a fantastic time with Goodtime Adventures on Koh Tao! My dive instructor was Stefi, who is also a good friend of mine – and yet she was always professional and pleasantly strict. She challenged me, but that's exactly what helped me feel confident and learn everything correctly. I really liked the dive center from day one; everyone is friendly and you immediately feel welcome. They catered to my individual needs, and even though I was only on the island for a few days, they found the perfect solution for me – allowing me to complete my Scuba Diver certification in the time I had available. Thanks to the excellent support, I finally overcame my fear of deep water and was able to truly enjoy diving. I would dive with Goodtime Adventures again in a heartbeat – highly recommended!
LYDIA!!!! she is the best diving instructor. I absolutely love the way she teaches, she was overall amazing!
Lydia was such an amazing dive instructor. She explains everything in detail and guides you through each dive. one of the most experienced people I've met. also don't forget to breathe.
Fantastic place to start your adventure with open water diving !! Instructors are great and explains the whole course. I was working with Lydia, it was an amazing learning experience and I feel very confident with my skills now. It was a true GoodTime Adventure!!!
I did a try dive with Lydia and it was an unforgettable experience. The theory part was very easy to understand but the first time underwater was a bit tricky, but Lydia supported me perfectly. Everyone was extremely friendly and created a positive atmosphere. It was a day I will never forget. Highly recommended!
