History Underwater: My Wreck Dive Adventure with Amadive.|I Dived a Shipwreck in Vietnam: My Wreck Dive with Amadive Con Dao.|The Ghost Ship of Con Dao: My Wreck Dive with Amadive Con Dao.
When I booked my dive trip to Con Dao, I was picturing beautiful coral reefs. And don't get me wrong, they were amazing. But then I discovered something on Amadive Con Dao's dive list: **Wreck Diving**. My pulse jumped. This wasn't just a standard reef dive; this was an adventure into history.
Honestly, I was a bit a little apprehensive. Diving a wreck is serious business. But the crew at **Amadive Con Dao Dive Center** were incredible. The PADI guides gave us an excellent briefing. We discussed our safety procedures, the story of the wreck, and what here we would see. The fact we were in a small group instantly made me feel safe.
Descending was unforgettable. At first, it was just a dark shape in the distance, and then the ship appeared. It is massive. It's now a bustling artificial reef, covered in corals and teeming with fish. We saw giant groupers hiding from inside the hull, and lionfish patrolling the superstructure. That feeling of gliding next to this silent, ghostly structure is indescribable—haunting, awe-inspiring, and humbling all at once. It's a time capsule on the seabed.
If you're an Open Water diver (or higher) coming to Con Dao and seeking something more the standard reef, I cannot recommend this **Con Dao wreck dive** enough. It was the unforgettable highlight of my diving trip. A huge shout-out to the **Amadive Con Dao** team for their professionalism and for making this incredible adventure so safe.
