History Underwater: My Wreck Dive Adventure with Amadive.|Diving a Sunken Ship in Vietnam: An Adventure with Amadive Con Dao.|The Ghost Ship of Con Dao: Wreck Diving with Amadive.
When I booked my scuba diving trip to Con Dao, Vietnam, I was picturing beautiful coral reefs. And I found them. But I saw something on the Amadive dive list: **A Shipwreck Dive**. My heart leaped. This wasn't just a standard reef dive; this was an exploration into the past.
I have to admit, I was a bit a little apprehensive. Wreck diving requires extra care. But the team at **Amadive Con Dao Dive Center** were absolutely professional. The PADI instructors provided a very thorough safety briefing. We covered our safety procedures, the history of the sunken ship, and what to expect below. Being in a small group instantly put me at ease comfortable.
Descending was surreal. First, it's a shadow in the distance, and then it appeared. It was enormous. It's now a bustling artificial reef, covered in soft corals and swarming with fish. We saw giant groupers peeking from the cargo hold, and lionfish patrolling the cracks. That feeling of swimming next to this silent, ghostly structure was hard to describe—eerie, beautiful, and humbling all at once. It's a piece of history under the water.
For any a certified diver coming to Con Dao and looking for something more the usual reef dive, I recommend this **Con Dao wreck dive** enough. It was the absolute highlight of my Vietnam trip. A huge shout-out to the **Amadive Con Dao** team for their expertise website and for making this unforgettable adventure possible and safe.
