I am reviewing the Dive Centre not the visibility. I was picked up on time at my hotel and taken to the boat, which was well equipped. I was given a very good briefing by Kim our dive leader and we could relax on deck chairs on the top deck before diving. There is free tea coffee & water on board. There is also a large sign to say that computers are available for rent at 30,000VND (£10) a day. Kim was very professional in and out of the water and Steve the owner gave a talk about the boat and procedures at the start and end of the trip. The visibility was not great but if you enjoy diving you make the best of it and do not blame the Dive Centre. We had 1.5 hours to have lunch and relax on an island before heading back to port. All in all a very enjoyable and well organised day. Picked up at 8am and back at hotel at 4.15pm. This is my 2nd year diving with Blue Coral.
I joined the Blue Coral Dice Centre for the 1 day tour to Sham Island. I hadn't dived in 12 years, but all the staff were extremely helpful to ensure I felt safe and comfortable throughout the day. They talked me through all theory in the boat and did a skills refresher in the water. The dive instructor takes care of everything: tracking dive times, searching for interesting things to see and even checking our air levels as we went along. I felt fully looked after and really enjoyed the experience which was perfect to get me back into diving!
The dives weren't too deep as there is so much fascinating coral life in the shallow water. Some people complain about the visibility, but it doesn't bother me as you can get up close to the coral and marine life to see it all.
My friend came with me, but doesn't dive, so she was able to do the snorkeling tour from the same boat. The tour then stops at the island for lunch and some relaxed time on the beach.
Overall, a fabulous group of staff, great communication and well run, making it a stress free and enjoyable day! Would thoroughly recommend, thank you!
Thanks guys for a wonderful day of snorkeling, viewing more of your area and a great lunch. We all had an amazing day, I think a highlight for everyone (adults and kids) was jumping from the sun deck of the boat into the water. Thanks again guys
Dove 2 days at Cham Island, and it was really wasting time. Unacceptable lack of basic safety measures of a dive center, with divers without diving computer and no surface interval time between dives. Quite bad visibility, some nice reefs but few life. If you are an addictive diver, there are other places at south east Asia to go. I will forget Cham Island for diving.
Dive computers are avaliable to rent on the boat. Your choice. A minimum of 35 minutes between dives. You would know if you keep a lot or rent a dive computer. All details are detailed on a large white board 9n the dive deck. Full safety briefings are given and dives guided by Dive Master or Instructor. Where is the lack??????
Viz are ok for this time year as it is October and the very end of the dive season. 10m is great in some parts of the world. Nothing positive in your review. Oh well we can not please everyone.
Read all the other reviews first before taking any notice of fake news!
Could not recommend these guys higher! We were staying in Da Nang, not Hoi An, yet they still arranged transfers for us without any hassle. The staff were amazing, with Steve and his team making sure everyone had a great time and were safe. It was one of my first times diving and the instructors made me feel very comfortable in the water and ensured I got to see all the amazing aquatic life at each dive sight. The way they set up the day, from getting on the boat in the morning, to diving, to having lunch lunch allowed us to meet new people and just soak up the beautiful scenery! Everything about the day was amazing and worth every penny!
Had the best day diving at Cham islands. My friend and I had not dived for a while and the instructor made us feel very relaxed and confident and she talked us through everything before we dived really thoroughly. The two dives in the morning were fantastic and then the lunch & beach stop in the afternoon was a really good end to the day. Would definitely recommend this day out!
