An untapped pearl in the Gulf of Thailand not 120km from Rach Gia, Phu Quoc Island is a mixing pot of flavours, history and beauty that has aesthetic potency sure to befuddle even the most travelled. This beautiful island lies 65 miles off the south-west coast of Vietnam and is genuinely unspoiled by time & tourism. Travelers say that "Vietnam is like Thailand 20 years ago". If that's true, then Phu Quoc is like Vietnam used to be 10 years ago!

Phu Quoc is about the same size as Singapore, 600 sq. kms and is the largest of all Vietnamese islands. There are 99 mountains and hills covered in green primitive forests with majestic waterfalls and babbling streams. The fresh sea breezes and stunning sandy beaches touching crystal clear blue waters make this a true paradise.The tourist season is similar to Thailand's. The good weather and clear waters start mid November and last until early June. Then the rainy season usually starts and diving conditions are not so good. This however compliments diving in Nha Trang & Whale Island where the rainy season can begin mid November till early January.

Scuba Diving and PADI were introduced to the Island during 2002 by Jeremy Stein, better known for his 5 Star diving and Instructor Training Centres in Nha Trang & Whale Island. So whilst diving is relatively new here you have a rare opportunity to be amongst the first to dive this area and to discover new divesites.Diving in the North is similar to the rest of Vietnam, whereby there is not a proliferation of large fish life, nor the pelagics, Mantas or Sharks. It is however teeming with smaller reef fishes and is a perfect site for new divers or divers who have not dived for a while. The hard & soft corals are pristine around the mass of small islands to the South and are home to a huge variety of small colourful reef/coral fish, many of them endemic to the Vietnamese waters. At times it is difficult to see the corals due to the masses of Fairy Basslets & Damsel fish! The mysterious Dugong has also been sighted here!All PADI diving and experience courses are offered here, as well as daily dive trips and is run by the highest qualified Instructors in Vietnam together with the Rainbow Divers team.

Diving in the North begins at 8am with a 90 minute trip to the sites. 2 or 3 dives are available as are 'Try-Dives' and Snorkelling. Trips to the South start at 7.30am. The journey is for 2 hours 30 minutes. The dive center only offers a 3-dive package to the South as well as 'Try-Dives' and snorkeling.

Lunch is available between the dives for 40,000vnd (about $2.50). Water, soft drinks & beer are also available on board, or you are welcome to bring your own.

The number of divers are limited, in order to ensure comfort, relaxation and enjoyable day.
