Record Breakers - PADI Awards presented on
Koh Tao!
PADI Regional
Manager Hans Ulrich visited Koh Tao from the 8th-12th of this month
on one of his regular visits. During his trip he managed to find
time to participate on the IDC program that Platinum Course Director
Matt Bolton is currently conducting here at Crystal.

Matt & Kenji Receiving Their IDC Award
Hans spent a
morning with Matt’s candidates, firstly presenting ‘The
Business of Diving’ presentation as part of the IDC curriculum,
then providing a few useful tips for the candidates for when they
receive their teaching status & get out into the ‘real
world’.

In the evening
Hans attended a BBQ event, to celebrate Crystal Dive’s record
breaking achievements at the recent PADI Members Awards. He addressed
all Crystal’s staff, as well as customers, then presented
the Diver Training award trophy.

Crystal also
received awards for being a finalist in two other categories, Instructor
Development & Marine Environment. This is the first time in
the 42 years of PADI history that a single dive center has reached
three finals in 1 year!! A great achievement for both Crystal, Koh
Tao as well as Thailand!

The Crystal Dive Team
Hans Ulrich
commented ‘This is the first time any PADI Dive Center has
ever been nominated for three awards in one year. Congratulations
to all the staff at Crystal Dive Resort for all the effort put in
over the past few years’
