Dove with James and Charles. Both very capable guides. First dive wasn't very clear as there must have been some recent underwater activity. Second dive was better in a different location. Diving is not as good as other places (for example Cozumel or Thailand) but still great. They took as to a secluded beach for lunch and relaxation afterwards. The... More

Originally booked to go snorkelling, but when I was advised that I could do a dive instead, I jumped at the chance. Best decision of my holiday. Filled out the medical, got a very detailed lesson on the boat suited up and jumped in. Went through the safety procedures twice again, and then off we went. Easy as that and... More

I had such a nice day, in a very confortable boat, with a so lovely team, and diving was particularly nice, with many lion fish, georgous corals, baracudas, clown fish, and a huge variety of aquatic animals. The schedule is very nice, with the possibility to visit a so beautiful fishermen village, the delicious vietnamese lunch on the most beautifull... More

We had a fantastic day snorkelling with our Cham Island Diving Crew. They were always friendly, helpful and welcoming. We stopped twice for snorkelling near Cham Island then stopped there for a delicious lunch and relaxation in a hammock. It really was a piece of paradise, not touristy at all! Would highly recommend this day trip, only 30km or so... More

I am a qualified diver and joined Cham Island Diving for a few leisure dives during our Vietnam holiday. Firstly, the sites are ok. Its a tropical climate so the diving is nice but I would not go there just for the diving, from the uk you fly over a lot of better places. On some of our dives the... More

I did a 2-dives day with Cham Island diving. The whole thing is very well organized: they were bang on time at my hotel to pick me up and when we arrived at the dock the boat was ready to leave. They offered tea or coffee with some small cakes to the participants. The trip to the dive site takes... More

Very friendly staff as expected for a dive company. Never been to a grumpy one yet. Plenty of bananas & cakes onboard to cover the munchies. The gear was quality stuff & the staff knowledgable although I'd suggest in future they have available travelcalm for those that don't have sea legs. The poor visibility was a disappointment but that's not... More
