FAQ
How do I reach the Con Dao Islands?
The most common way is a 45-minute flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Con Son Airport (VCS). Alternatively, a high-speed ferry operates from Vung Tau, taking approximately 3.5 to 4 hours depending on sea conditions. Flights operate daily and fill quickly during peak season.
What makes Con Dao diving different from Nha Trang?
Con Dao offers more remote, less-visited reefs with significantly higher coral diversity, larger pelagic species including dugongs, and wreck diving options. Currents tend to be stronger, making it better suited for intermediate and advanced divers. The islands also serve as Vietnam's most important green sea turtle nesting ground.
When is the best time to dive Con Dao?
The ideal diving season runs from November to April during the dry northeast monsoon, when seas are calm and visibility can reach 30 meters. From May to October, the southwest monsoon brings rougher conditions, though some sheltered sites remain diveable.
