My buddy and I did the SSI open water course with Goodtime Adventures just a few days ago, and we absolutely loved it because 1. People there really want to make sure that you enjoy learning scuba diving They did not rush us because we were on a tight schedule. Instead, our DM Matty encouraged us to take our time... More

Hello there, and thanks for such a glowing review, I'l make sure your comments get passed on to Matt. We're happy you had such a good time with us. We're very proud to run a bit differently to most other scuba shops on the island. Small groups have always been our favoured way to teach, it really helps you get... More

My friend and I wanted to learn diving during our short 3.5 days stay in Koh Tao. Our plan was to complete our Open Water Diving in as short of a time period as possible so we can have a couple of days to check out the island and just relax a bit. Unfortunately, most of the diving schools on... More

As with a lot of other businesses on Koh Tao the (half) day was made by Sara who worked her little butt off to look after us. We had been diving the rest of our time and wanted to see a bit more of the island and really enjoyed the opportunity to trek from one side to the other (very... More

Hello, and thanks for your great response. We're glad you enjoyed your time with us. We pride ourselves on running more varied and personalised adventures rather than just the run of the mill scuba boat trips that are common across the island. Its a shame you didn't get to see the black tips, but I guess that's just one more... More

Stop reading and just book here! Goodtimes is an amazing shop with an awesome staff. I found them on advice from my brother who did an open water and advanced course with Linzi and loved the shop, the level of care in instruction and all the crew. His excitement was more than enough to convince me so I came back... More

One of the smaller shops on Koh Tao which definitely shows in the number of people and the ratio of insturctors/divemasters to customers on the boat. We never had more than 5-6 divers including instructors on the boat and you might well and up with doing a dive with just one instructor/Dm and nobody else. They also try to pick... More

We deliberately have mostly instructors on our dive team, and our divemasters are trained in-house so they are well versed in the ways of the Goodtimes!
