When I booked my scuba diving trip to Con Dao, I expected vibrant reefs. And don't get me wrong, they were amazing. But then I saw something on the Amadive dive list: **A Shipwreck Dive**. My heart leaped. This was more than a typical dive; this was an adventure into the past.
I have to admit, I was a bit a little apprehensive. Diving a wreck is serious business. But the crew at **Amadive Con Dao Dive Center** were absolutely professional. The Divemasters gave us an excellent briefing. We discussed our safety procedures, the history of the sunken ship, and what we would see. Being in such a small group immediately put me at ease safe.
Going down was unforgettable. At first, it's a shadow in the distance, and then the wreck came into view. It is massive. It's now a thriving artificial reef, draped in corals and teeming with fish. I spotted giant groupers peeking from the hull, and lionfish hiding in the superstructure. That feeling of gliding alongside this giant, silent structure was indescribable—eerie, awe-inspiring, and humbling at the same time. It truly is a time capsule under the water.
For any a certified diver coming to Con Dao and looking for something beyond the standard reef, I cannot urge you this **Con Dao wreck dive** highly enough. It was the absolute highlight of my here diving trip. A huge thank you to the **Amadive** team for their professionalism and for making this incredible adventure possible and safe.
