“Jump on a boat and explore the beautiful islands around Phu Quoc,” recommends Rusty Compass. “Swimming, snorkelling and diving are all popular and can be arranged for a day or half day.” Scuba diving is one of Phu Quoc's biggest draws, says Mr Linh’s Adventures. The “top spot” for scuba diving is in the An Thoi Archipelago off the south coast of the island, where an “amazing coral reef stretches up to 25 metres below the surface and is home to stingrays, manta rays, bamboo sharks and the occasional turtle as well as a host other creatures.”
