Rescue-Tastic!

IDCS Instructor Angie Kerridge certified 4 new PADI Rescue Divers at Crystal Dive today. It was a challenging 3 day course, and the student divers, Justine Macintyre, Richard Bond, David Jackson and Steen Thomsen all worked extremely hard which paid off as they passed the Rescue final scenarios with flying colours - many eyes were watching the progress of the team, in particular Rich, who dealt with every rescue scenario with only the use of one hand...

Whale Shark Crazy on Koh Tao!

With the Diving conditions stunning, water temperature holding at a cozy 30c, even after the overnight rains we have been experiencing recently, our students and certified divers are finishing their daily diving adventures with a buzz and a glow about them.

2nd consecutive Asia Pacific award for Crystal Dive Resort!

Fast forward 13 months to May 2009 and incredibly Crystal have equaled the feat achieved 12 months previous...

With Whale Sharks for the many divers of Koh Tao, who could want more?

Koh Tao or Turtle Island, as the translation goes, still holds some truth to her name. Yes it’s true, sightings of these rare water loving reptiles have decreased over the years but then we could say that about everything, everywhere in the world. From beginners to Professionals, we all need and love to see animals doing what they do naturally, and over the very recent months or so, we’ve all had our fair share of natural activity, what with Whale sharks at the deeper dive sites of Chumphon, Southwest and Shark Island...

Shark!

This morning the Crystal Dive Divemaster Team sent the morning dive trip to the Deep dive site of Chumphon Pinnacle. The wind has strong in the mornings recently causing a slightly choppy ride out which deterred the smaller dive boats off from travelling so far out. As we pulled up to Chumphon, with every diver ready for the entry, a cry of “Whale shark” was heard from the surface causing a frenzy of excitement whilst fun divers and students stepped into the blue ...
