Deeper Than the Reef: My Con Dao Wreck Diving Experience with Amadive.|I Dived a Shipwreck in Vietnam: An Adventure with Amadive Con Dao.|Con Dao's Sunken Secret: My Wreck Dive with Amadive.
When I planned my dive trip to Con Dao, I was picturing vibrant coral reefs. And I found them. But then I saw something on the Amadive itinerary: **Wreck Diving**. My pulse jumped. This was more than a typical dive; this was adventure into the past.
I have to admit, I was a bit a little apprehensive. Wreck diving requires extra care. But the crew at **Amadive** was fantastic. Their PADI guides provided a detailed safety briefing. We discussed our safety procedures, the history of the sunken ship, and what to expect below. Being in such a small group instantly put me at ease comfortable.
Descending was surreal. First, it was just a shadow in the distance, and then it came into view. It is enormous. It's now a thriving artificial reef, draped more info in corals and swarming with marine life. We saw big groupers hiding from the hull, and lionfish hiding in the superstructure. The feeling of gliding next to this silent, ghostly vessel is indescribable—haunting, awe-inspiring, and humbling at the same time. It truly is a time capsule on the seabed.
For any an Open Water diver (or higher) visiting Con Dao and seeking an adventure more the standard reef, I urge you this **Con Dao wreck dive** enough. It was the absolute highlight of my Vietnam trip. A huge shout-out to the **Amadive Con Dao** crew for their expertise and for making this incredible adventure possible and safe.
