“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.”

They accommodate for all levels of mobility and experience when they should not (you should be fit and know how to swim). Bizarre experience. Go by yourself not on a group tour.”
