WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US
Highly recommended diving school. Very close to the pier you arrive in the island (and this doesn’t mean unpleasant at all, pretty nice place and clean beach). Did my first dive ever (basic and advanced open water courses). Big highlight was my instructor EVAN . Very Didactic and professional, good vibe, care for your experience .They offer awesome accommodations for a very cheap price for the time of the course, so it’s super convenient to go right away when you get to the island and then go explore more after the course. Also offer discount for the second course and in the store. Very well structured, 25 years olds school , lots of friendly people and staff for all over the world .
Highly recommend doing your Open Water Diver, and maybe even the Advanced Adventurer right after, with Crystal Dive Koh Tao. I did both certifications there and had the pleasure of being taught by Evandro, who made the entire experience truly outstanding.Evan is not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, he took the time to make sure every one of us felt safe, confident, and comfortable at all times – whether it was in the pool or 18 meters deep. He went above and beyond what was required, always checking in with us individually, giving detailed feedback, and adapting his teaching style to our pace. What stood out even more is what a genuinely great person Evan is – calm, positive, and super easy to spend time with both in and out of the water.Also worth noting: Crystal Dive offers discounted accommodation (300 baht/room) right at the dive school, which makes the whole experience even more relaxed and easy.Couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to diving – thank you, Evan and the Crystal Dive team!
What makes Koh Tao an amazing place for me is def Crystle Dive and its team. I started to be on the Island for 7 days but I extended it to 12 days. Why? Because diving with Crystle Dive is so much fun. The high profession team that guides you through my specialty courses was amazing. Big kuddos to Kelvin for making my Advanced Wreck diving look like an easy in and out:). Thank you for making me a better diver and look forward to dive with you in the future. Thanks to you also with Nitrox! Mayo, my instructor who guided me through my shark specialty course who can now say that when you want to see whale sharks, you have to do a Shark specialty course haha, cause we saw one! Again big thanks for the whole team. It felt like home and I enjoyed it every day. If you come to Koh Tao, dive with Crystle. Its not about the diving, its about they make you feel like home, help you through the Island when needed and you have a great diving community to be part of.
Melanie is an outstanding diving instructor! Her patience, expertise, and ability to instill confidence made my Open Water and Advanced courses an unforgettable experience. She explains everything clearly, adapts to your pace, and ensures you feel safe and prepared underwater. Thanks to her, I not only earned my certifications but also gained a deep love for diving. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional instructor in Koh Tao!
Absolutely fantastic experience completing our Open-Water Diving Course with Crystal! The staff are all so friendly and we just felt really comfortable at all times (even when slightly out of our depth!). Loved it so much that we immediately signed up for two more dives the following day to work towards our Advanced Course. Special thanks to our very lovely and very patient instructor Alex who made it super fun and relaxed throughout. Could not recommend enough!

Great experience completing my open water course at Crystal Dive!! My instructor Todd was very professional and reassuring considering I had a deep fear of the ocean, felt safe the whole time and overcame my phobia. Thank you to the whole team for the experience (Evan, Yike, and Claire) and the boat crew!
I completed the Deep Diving and Advanced Wreck Diving courses at Crystal Dive with instructor Evan, and it was an outstanding experience. As a diver with 70+ dives, I was especially impressed by how strictly the team followed safety protocols — the most compliant and professional operation I’ve come across. Evan was clear, patient, and highly knowledgeable, which made me feel confident in developing and applying these new skills. I’d recommend Crystal Dive to anyone serious about quality dive training.
Had Alex for a open water diver course and loved it so much that I stayed for deep diver and nitrox. Can’t recommend this dive school enough from coming to no diving experience to absolutely loving it. Great wee social community aswell for anyone looking for that aspect. Thanks again to Alex and the whole team!
I did my dive master over the period of 8 weeks and I had an amazing time. My instructors for this program (Tom and Oli) were amazing and always encouraged me throughout. I also loved working with the other dive instructors as they were so clearly passionate about teaching and diving. I would 100% come back here and loved not only the diving but the location and friends I made.
I have done my Divemaster program with crystal the last few months, it was one of the best expiriences ever! First of all, everything is professional, they have nice equipment, an maintenance team, surface cover for on the boat and many more. I chose crystal because of these things. Crystal also makes their Divemasters familiar with these aspects of diving during the program by giving small internship like expiriences. Next to it it was also AMAZING and really fun, the team is great, the atmosphere is fantastic and overall it was a lot of fun!
I did my stress and rescue course, and then my Divemaster program, just about to start my instructor course tomorrow.Crystal Dive has the best facilities on the island and a really good flow of operation, everything is always on point. Also, the whole team is super chill, energetic and happy to help.Can't recommend this experience enough, it has been an amazing journey! Thank you!
This school actually teaches you how to really dive way better than others I’ve tried. I’d totally feel safe diving next time.
