When I booked my scuba diving trip to Con Dao, Vietnam, I was picturing beautiful coral reefs. And don't get me wrong, they were amazing. But I saw something on the Amadive dive list: **Wreck Diving**. My pulse jumped. This wasn't just a standard reef dive; this was an exploration into the past.
I have to admit, I was a bit a little apprehensive. Wreck diving requires extra care. But the team at **Amadive Con Dao Dive Center** were absolutely professional. The PADI guides provided a very thorough briefing. We discussed our safety procedures, the history of the sunken ship, and what to expect below. The fact we were in a small group instantly put me at ease comfortable.
Descending was surreal. First, it's a shadow in the distance, and then it appeared. It was enormous. It's now a bustling artificial reef, covered in soft corals and swarming with fish. We saw giant groupers peeking from the cargo hold, and schools of fusiliers patrolling the cracks. That feeling of swimming alongside this silent, ghostly structure was hard to describe—eerie, beautiful, and humbling at the same time. It's a time capsule under the water.
