DIVING IN COn Dao
Con Dao has 25 dive sites to choose from. Over the past 9 years the team at Con Dao Dive Center, have explored all of the many islands and reefs that the archipelago has to offer, & can always recommend the best places to dive during your stay.
Sometimes the weather, or the time of year you are visiting, can determine which dive sites we visit. Or maybe you are here for a multiple dive trip vacation and wish to see more of what the island has to offer. Contact us for more information about the best dive sites to visit, at which time of year. Our prices are all one rate to all islands.
Con Dao Dive Sites offer depths of up to 21+ meters, for recreational divers and shallow areas for snorkelers and beginners. We run a daily two-dive trip for divers and snorkelers, departing the harbour at 8am. Journey time to the numerous dive sites ranges from 15mins to 1hr 20 mins. We also offer multiple dive trips and trips from our private speedboat. We can customize any aspect of your dive trip to suit you – contact us for more information.
