Phú Quốc Special Administrative Region

Phú Quốc Special Administrative Region is a coastal area on Phú Quốc Island in southern Vietnam, facing the Gulf of Thailand. While the island is known for its beaches and marine tourism, it is not a major city-based diving hub. Nearby dive centers operate on Phú Quốc and offer reef and wall dives around the island, with typical warm tropical conditions, clear water, and abundant marine life. Access is facilitated by a regional airport and ferries; expect calm seas in offshore sites and opportunities for introductory dives, snorkeling, and local boat trips. If you’re focusing on city-based planning, use Phú Quốc as a gateway to southern Vietnam’s dive options, rather than as a primary diving destination itself.
