The An Thoi archipelago off the southern tip of Phu Quoc offers the best diving, with around 15 small islands and rocky outcrops surrounded by coral reefs. The most popular dive sites are around Hon Thom, Hon Dua, and Hon Roi islands, where coral coverage is healthiest and visibility tends to be best. The northern waters around Turtle Island also offer decent diving but with typically lower visibility. Most dive centres run half-day and full-day boat trips to the southern islands.

Visibility at Phu Quoc is highly variable and generally lower than classic tropical dive destinations. During the dry season from November to May, visibility ranges from 10 to 20 metres at the better sites, with occasional days reaching 25 metres. During the wet season, visibility can drop below 5 metres and many dive sites become inaccessible due to currents and poor conditions. The nutrient-rich water that reduces visibility also supports the abundant small marine life that makes Phu Quoc excellent for macro diving.

Yes, Phu Quoc is an excellent destination for beginner divers and those completing their Open Water certification. Most dive sites are shallow, between 5 and 18 metres, with mild currents and warm water that does not require thick exposure protection. Several dive centres offer courses in multiple languages. The calm conditions of the dry season make it particularly suitable for new divers gaining confidence, and the relatively affordable dive prices compared to other Southeast Asian destinations add to its appeal.
