The resort revolves around diving and the accomodation is simple, convenient and spacious. I heard about their diving program from a friend who visited about 8 months ago. It lived up to my expectations by providing personalized instruction and amazing sights under the water. The whole staff was friendly and offered their every effort to make the experience a spectacular... More

I've stayed at Crystal dive resort twice now, and I'm definitely coming back! I loved Koh Tao it's such an amazing island and the fact that Crystal is only 200 meters from the pier and just down by the beach was just great. I did my open water and advanced open water course, and even though I used to be... More

We picked this place for our dive course as we met some travellers who had a good experience here, and also when we got off the ferry they were only a 200m walk away (as opposed to the other diving place that was also offering free accomodation). The fan bungalow was basic, but free while we were doing a course,... More

We stayed here because we heard good things about the diving program. We got our open water certifications here. Let's just say we're going back in a few months to get our advanced (with Crystal). Excellent instructors, Josh was especially awesome. The hotel is decent, nothing too fancy but for your average traveller, its perfectly fine.

just for diving, good team, good experience. Accommodation, for me just need a bed to sleep, so I don't care so much. Well, to be honest, not good for family.

I did the Open Water course at Crystal Dive (9800baht + 100for certificate which is a downside + no breakfast included). The bungalow had no toilet paper, but TV (HBO or Fox Channel, can´t remember) and provided towels. The room was very hot and small but you go there for diving. The resort is about 10 minutes walk to Sairee... More
