Koh Tao experiences?

[jopperdepopper]

Hi,

I'm thinking about going to Koh Tao for a period of diving, doing courses, and hopefully pretty much have a relaxed time.
I'm thinking about doing the pro courses at http://www.prodivethailand.com/index.htm, which is part of http://www.crystaldive.com/
I'm hoping to hear about your experiences good/bad on Koh Tao, or with Crystal Dive in particular?

Thanks, best,

Job

hi there, some time (couple of yrs) since I was there but loved the place and Im told that the reef quality has got better too.

the 2 major dive sites close to the island are chumpon pinnacle and southwest pinnacle, large sholas of reef and pelagic fish around this. Plenty of sharks on chumpon.

Inshore sites tend to be crowded, night dives on these can be good though, as they get a lot of larghe pelagic hunters on the reefs at night.
