April update around Phu Quoc Island

" What is diving around Phu Quoc like?

In short, it's safe, relatively shallow and teeming with macro-marinelife!

I've dived at some of the best divesites in the World but still love the biodiversity of the

marinelife on Phu Quoc.

To support the Government and to help stem the Corona virus spread, we suspended all diving activities for the last 2 seasons.

Despite the ever-changing regulations regarding diving around Phu Quoc Island, we are now able to offer Daily diving trips around the An Thoi Islands and to the North.

No suitable premises are currently available to open a professional Rainbow Dive Centre on Phu Quoc, so rather than create a sub-standard image, we will wait until the right premises become available.

In the meantime and to ensure a professional service to our Divers and students, we are working with our PADI-Partner there, a well-established Vietnamese divecentre

Traditionally when the rainy season starts and adversely affects the water conditions and restricts visibility, potentially affecting safety, we'll close for the season at the end of February/March.

However, when we are closed in Phu Quoc you can still enjoy diving at our other locations: Nha Trang and on Whale Island

A typical programme for diving to the South feels like this:

* Pick ups as arranged between 8-8.20am

(Please check with us before you book your Hotel as we only offer free pick ups from

central Hotels + resorts. Other places attract a nominal charge)

* 30 minute Aircon bus trip to the Harbour

* Boat briefing on board before departure

* 45 minute cruise to the 1st divesite whilst your Instructor briefs you on your equipment and the divesite

* Dive for 40-60 minutes

* Move boat to 2nd divesite. Dive for 40-60 minutes

* 3rd dive for those taking the PADI Advanced Course

* Lunch is served during the 3rd dive + on the way back to the harbour whilst completing Logbooks

* Drop off at the agreed rendezvous around 2.30pm

Similar to the North, but earlier return time due to the shorter travel time.

ACCOMODATION ON PHU QUOC ISLAND

With thousands of Hotels on the Island and hundreds of online booking agencies, it's impossible to recommend places to stay, as prices, especially online, vary on an hourly basis!

However, we have a couple of places from where we can offer free pick-ups for diving and can arrange dive training in their Pool, but feel free to check for alternative deals online.
