“Cham Island was beautiful. I inquired about diving with my OW certification, but did not receive a reply. On the day of the trip, I was asked if I wanted to dive. When I said yes, I was told it would cost 1 million dong, which was not a problem, but the diving was an experience where an instructor supported you from behind. The maximum depth was 3 meters. I hope this information is helpful to anyone planning to apply in the future.”
