The island of Phu Quoc lies 100 kilometers off the Southwest coastline of Vietnam and is very close to Cambodia. It is almost the same size as Singapore but has been left alone by toursim for many years. Diving here has only been happening for a couple of years and new sites are still being discovered. Marine life is very similar to that found in the Gulf of Thailand with few big pelagics but a lot of smaller reef fish and breath-taking, pristine coral. Unfortunately evidence of dynamite fishing can be seen on some of the reefs here but the island does boast one of the best dive sites in the country with Turtle Island off the Northwest coast. We will update this page when further infomation becomes available.
