Janice and All:

There is no need for malaria pills because we will be in urban areas and staying at 5-star hotels. 

Janice is interested in scuba diving in Phu Quoc Island. We are looking into that and will have an answer to Janice and the entire group later today.

Let me know if any of you has other questions. We are waiting for news on the last visa applicant (You know who you are!) so we are in good shape now. 

Best, kp

lol. For what it’s worth, not having done any research I came across someone who spent a month on the island who said the reefs are spectacular which is what prompted my question. The person who I was talking to is a snorkeler - could be that it’s shallow enough so it’s not worth actually diving…from what I’m reading online it’s a little hard to tell.
And it’s not me who’s late with the visa!!

As someone who has dived in my younger years all over Asia - I do not think Pho Quoc is a world class diving place like Fiji or some of the Great Barrier Reef islands or Palau or even Kona in Hawaii    It seems like it is a fun place for up to Moderate diving, not especially deep, attuned to newer divers.  You’ll get some interesting sites - especially if your perspective is from that of a snorkeler.  It all depends on your expectations, and the dive boat you are with….

Dear Janice and all,


Below is information on a private snorkeling tour in Phu Quoc for your reference:


Best time for snorkeling: Noon to afternoon. The sea is usually calmer during this period, visibility is better, and there are fewer tourists.


Suggested time slot: February 6th, 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM


Activity: Snorkeling (mask & snorkel). No certificate is required.


What to bring: Towel, swimwear, and sunscreen.


Booking: You can book the tour with the InterContinental Phu Quoc front desk on February 5th when we check in, so they can arrange.


Pricing (Private Tour):

1 pax: $400

2 pax: $250/person

3 - 4 pax: $180/ person

5 - 9 pax: $120/person

10 - 15 pax: $90/person


Inclusions

Private round-trip transfer to/from InterContinental Phu Quoc

Private English-speaking tour guide

Private speedboat with captain/crew

Snorkeling equipment and life jackets


Itinerary


1:00 PM: Pick-up at InterContinental Phu Quoc and transfer to An Thoi Harbor


1:20 PM: Speedboat from An Thoi Harbor to Gam Ghi Island and Roi Island


Gam Ghi Island is often called a snorkeling “paradise” thanks to its diverse coral gardens and colorful reef fish. Visibility is usually good, making it enjoyable for both first-timers and experienced snorkelers.


Roi Island is a popular snorkeling stop in South Phu Quoc, known for clear water, gentle waves, and shallow coral reefs.


3:00 PM: Return to the hotel.


Regards,

Anh

Thanks that’s kind of what I was coming around to as I checked some comments online I got the same sort of color. I wouldn’t expect it to be on the list of dream diving destinations but when I don’t get to dive that much I’m willing to check it out.  So much of the easy to get to Caribbean is dead.

Anna and I would like to go.  With Janice that gets us to 3.  

Hopefully at least 2 more will go to get us to the 5-9 bracket.  

And maybe...to 10!
