The Learning Experience

Booking a private snorkel boat charter with Goodtime means skipping the crowded big-boat snorkel tours and enjoying a more personal adventure. Our small group focus ensures you get plenty of space, comfort, and attention from our crew. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, looking for a family-friendly outing, or just want the freedom to explore Koh Tao at your own pace, our private speedboat charters are designed for flexibility and fun. We know the island’s waters inside out, so we can recommend hidden bays and calm snorkel spots that most visitors miss. With Goodtime, you don’t just join a trip—you set the course for your own unforgettable day at sea.

We had an amazing diving trip with snorkeling activities for our kids. It was all well organised and they were very flexible to change the schedule during the day. Big up! Shout out to Mira for being so kind and professional at the same time, and to Max for inspiring our boys to dive! Kudos!

Brilliant experience with Goodtime Diving. Huge thanks to Mira, Ana, Max, Daan, Shai, Beth, Mike and Bob for making the dives so enjoyable and professional. The instructors were calm, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive, creating a safe but relaxed environment both on the boat and underwater. Clear briefings, well-run dives, and an all-round great vibe. Fantastic snorkelling experience with Goodtime Diving. Big thanks to Max, Joe, Gily and Michi for running such a smooth and enjoyable trip. Couldn’t recommend this team more highly if you’re diving in Koh Tao.

Incredible time snorkeling! We had max, Joe, Gily, michi all making sure we were pros by the end. I was really far from the boat and I was worried they were going to leave without me! But nope! They waited a whole 30 mins for me to swim over and get me to safety! The next day we went diving. We had a massive group and I was nervous! Although! As soon as we went through the theory and I asked them some ridiculous questions and I was sure I was safe with this team! Mira, Ana, max, Daan, shai, Beth, mike and bob! Showed us an incredible time on the second day! Took my scuba virginity! 10/10 I even paid for some photos taken by their photographers which was perfect framing and social media material

After two months of intensive training, tons of fun, and many wonderful experiences, I'm proud but also a little sad that I've now completed my Divemaster certification. I'd like to sincerely thank everyone who accompanied me on this journey for the tips, tricks, pleasant conversations, and activities off the water! Even the somewhat dreaded snorkel test will forever remain a cherished memory. It was simply fantastic and an incredibly satisfying conclusion to a phenomenal time. Ana, Lydia, Ezgi, Ryan, Mira, T2, Joe, Max, Andrea, Shai, Bart, and Charly, thank you so much for everything. Lydia, Gary, and Gilly, all the best and have fun for the rest of your training! Kwan, thank you so much for the excellent food when I was out on the boat longer than usual and for all the lovely conversations. A heartfelt thank you also goes to all the wonderful people behind the bar and in the kitchen of the Goodtimes Bar (Nini, Myo, Jo, etc.) – you're doing an outstanding job! Thank you so much for all the delicious food! Eimear, you're not only a master in the water, but also when it comes to food and drink. The next few Saturdays are going to be extremely tough without your fantastic spare ribs. Last but not least, Lukas – what an amazing guy!! Thank you so much for the gentle introduction to the DMT program for my ears. I learned so much from you – and not just about diving. You're a true role model, yet still so much fun! It's an honor to be part of the Goodtimes family.

A few days ago I went snorkeling for the first time. I couldn't have had a better team to facilitate the experience! Thank you Lydia, Ana and Mira for an awesome day 😁
