Kimie and her crew were all so helpful and made our afternoon tour of three snorkelling spots an absolutely gorgeous trip. Would highly recommend booking a tour with this company.
What is this tour like?
The north of Phu Quoc is a seasonal product and Kimie's says so in capital letters on the page: north dives only operate in the dry season, from November to April. The day lasts seven hours, with pick-up at 7:30–8:00 and drop-off at 15:00–15:30. From Dương Đông harbour the wooden boat takes about an hour and a half north, usually to Turtle Island, where the water depth is nine metres.
The unit is written out: $78 per person for two dives if you hold a certificate, $85 per person for two dives if you do not. Included are pick-up and drop-off at any hotel in Dương Đông town — other areas will be surcharged — scuba diving equipment, and water.
