The best diving around Phu Quoc is during the dry season, October through to April. Diving is available in the North-West or around the small archipelago, just south of An Thoi fishing village.
The diving around the island is typically very shallow, between 10 – 12 meters on average. The North is generally more sheltered than the South, but the choice of dive sites is limited. The South has a much bigger choice of sites and is undoubtedly the better diving. The south is however much more exposed and conditions can change with little or no warning.
There are a couple of sites for deeper diving, but these are very exposed and you can be subjected to very strong currents or rough surface conditions. Diving here is macro diving, don’t expect to see any big sharks, turtles or rays. The reefs are in excellent condition however, and some of the more common marine life you can spot includes, Bamboo Sharks, Blue Spotted Rays, Scorpion Fish, Nudibranch, Crustaceans, Cuttle Fish, and Octopus.
Water temperature ranges from 28 to 31 degrees Visibility is typically around 10 meters (from October to May) Currents: Changeable
