When I booked my dive trip to Con Dao, I was picturing stunning reefs. And I found them. But I saw something on the Amadive dive list: **A Shipwreck Dive**. My pulse jumped. This was more than a typical reef dive; this was an adventure into the past.
I'll admit, I was a bit a little apprehensive. Wreck diving is serious business. But the crew at **Amadive Con Dao Dive Center** were incredible. The PADI instructors gave us a very thorough safety briefing. We discussed our safety procedures, the story of the wreck, and what to expect below. The fact we were in a small group immediately made me feel comfortable.
Descending was unforgettable. At first, it's a shadow in the blue, then suddenly the wreck came into view. It was click here huge. The ship is now a thriving artificial reef, covered in soft corals and teeming with marine life. We saw big groupers peeking from inside the cargo hold, and lionfish patrolling the cracks. That feeling of gliding alongside this silent, ghostly structure is hard to describe—haunting, awe-inspiring, and humbling all at once. It's a time capsule on the seabed.
For any an Open Water diver (or higher) coming to Con Dao and looking for 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.
