Deeper Than the Reef: My Con Dao Wreck Diving Adventure with Amadive.|I Dived a Shipwreck in Con Dao: My Wreck Dive with Amadive Con Dao.|The Ghost Ship of Con Dao: My Wreck Dive with Amadive Con Dao.

When I booked my scuba diving trip to Con Dao, Vietnam, I expected beautiful coral reefs. And I found them. But I saw something on Amadive Con Dao's dive list: **A Shipwreck Dive**. My pulse leaped. This wasn't just a standard dive; this was adventure into history.

Honestly, I felt nervous. Wreck diving is serious business. But the crew at **Amadive** were absolutely professional. The Divemasters gave us a very thorough safety briefing. We covered safety protocols, the history of the wreck, and what to expect below. The fact we were in a small group immediately made me feel safe.

Descending was magical. At first, it was just a dark shape in the distance, then suddenly the ship appeared. It is enormous. The ship is now a thriving artificial reef, covered in corals and swarming with marine life. I spotted big groupers peeking from the cargo hold, and lionfish hiding in the cracks. That feeling of gliding alongside this silent, ghostly vessel is indescribable—haunting, awe-inspiring, and humbling at the same time. It's a time capsule on the seabed.

For any an Open Water diver (or higher) coming to Con Dao and looking for something beyond the usual reef dive, I recommend here this **dive** highly enough. It was the unforgettable highlight of my Vietnam trip. A massive shout-out to the **Amadive** team for their professionalism and for making this unforgettable adventure so safe.
