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

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 😁

I had a fantastic time on Koh Tao, and I spent a large part of it at Goodtime. I started with a refresher course with Ryan. He did a great job, and it was simply wonderful to be underwater again. The next day, I continued with Perfect Buoyancy with Lukas. It was an amazing course. Afterward, my position in the water was so much better. That night, I did a beautiful night dive with him. The following morning, I did two fun dives with Lydia. Finally able to maintain my altitude, I could really enjoy the dives. On all my dives, I was accompanied by DMT Michi, who was always incredibly friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, due to personal reasons, I couldn't continue diving. They really moved heaven and earth to make it work. Despite a relatively full schedule, my dives were rescheduled several times, but in the end, it just wasn't enough. That was 100% my fault. During that time, I was recommended many great snorkeling spots, and I was able to see numerous turtles there. I can highly recommend the dive center, not least because of the fantastic beach with its beach club. Beautifully situated with delicious food and good drinks.

Spoon, Anna and Micheal were AMAZING! We saw green turtles during our snorkel dives. Can’t wait to go for scuba dive with them. Highly recommend them, their fun games and jump competitions 🥳 Update: just done two of their scuba dives. Had an amazing dive. T2 is an amazing diving instructor.
