History Underwater: My Wreck Dive Experience 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.
When I planned my dive trip to Con Dao, Vietnam, I was picturing vibrant reefs. And don't get me wrong, they were amazing. But I discovered something on the Amadive itinerary: **A Shipwreck Dive**. My heart jumped. This wasn't just a standard dive; this was adventure into history.
Honestly, I felt nervous. Diving a wreck is serious business. But the team at **Amadive** was fantastic. The Divemasters provided a detailed safety briefing. We discussed our safety procedures, the story of the wreck, and what to expect below. Being in such a small group immediately made me feel safe.
Descending was surreal. At first, it's a dark shape in the distance, and then the structure came into view. It was huge. It's now a thriving new home, covered in soft corals and swarming with marine life. I spotted giant groupers peeking from the hull, and schools of fusiliers patrolling the superstructure. That feeling of swimming alongside this silent, ghostly structure is indescribable—eerie, beautiful, and humbling all at once. It truly is a piece of history under the water.
For any an Open Water diver (or higher) visiting Con Dao and looking for something more the standard reef, I urge you this **Con Dao wreck dive** enough. It was the unforgettable highlight of my diving trip. A huge thank here you to the **Amadive** crew for their professionalism and for making this incredible experience possible and safe.
