We are a PADI Career Development Center (PADI's highest rating!). PADI CDC's are 5 Star diving resorts that excel themselves in terms of the experiences, education and equipment that they can offer to dive consumers and are places where Instructor candidates receive training to prepare them for their careers in the scuba diving industry. Here at Crystal Dive Resort, we received this recognition from PADI in 2007 because of the standards that we set for ourselves and for the dive community on Koh Tao.

The one thing we cannot give you an idea of is the great ambience and atmosphere that exists at Crystal Dive Resort. Our biggest asset is not our buildings, boats, classrooms, or equipment. Nothing can match the care, attention and quality of service that is given from the staff at our resort who work so hard to maintain our commitment to our divers.
