Phu Quy, a small, peaceful island in Binh Thuan province, is becoming a popular destination for domestic and foreign tourists. Looking at the check-in photos with beautiful virtual living angles like only in movies, women are even more eager to explore this beautiful, poetic island.
Not only checking in for virtual photos or exploring hot spots in Phu Quy, Thuy Nguyen conquered this pure island by scuba diving, directly viewing the vibrant coral reefs, clear blue water and the beautiful scenery never seen before under the sea.
Thuy Nguyen shared that the recent diving trip to Phu Quy Island was her dream for a year, and she only had the chance to experience it now.
Thuy also shared that she herself is very afraid of water even though she has known how to swim since elementary school. "Exactly 1 year ago, I happened to watch a diving clip of a friend. I spent the whole day learning about this subject and really liked it. However, at that time, no one in Ben Tre taught it, so I had to put this dream aside." - Thuy Nguyen confided.
Freediving is a one-breath diving sport, so there is no oxygen tank, only goggles to protect the eyes and nose. Learners need to practice breathing and holding their breath throughout the dive. It is easy to say, but when practicing and practicing, she really realized how difficult this sport is.
Before going scuba diving, Thuy Nguyen took a 2-session crash course: learned how to breathe and hold her breath, and dive 25m. "The teacher was very enthusiastic and dedicated. I was shivering with cold but he wouldn't let me come up until I couldn't stand it anymore. Thanks to that, I'm less afraid of water and have basic knowledge to go to the sea." - Thuy Nguyen shares about her diving lesson at the pool.
She learned diving in Ben Tre first and then decided to experience diving at Phu Quy Island.
Review of a diving trip at Phu Quy Island: Price 1.5 million/2 sessions
There are many diving tours advertised on Phu Quy Island. After some research, Thuy Nguyen chose a reasonable tour for herself at a price of 1.5 million/2 sessions.
The tour will have 2 sessions: One diving lesson, one video recording session. Divers will be equipped with goggles, snorkel, and fins in all colors. There will be two more instructors, who will show you how to dive and help Thuy record the most beautiful images and moments of her diving.
Thuy Nguyen shared: "On the first morning, the guide will paddle the SUP and take me to a place with water about 4 - 5m deep at Bai Lang. Here I will learn how to tread water with fins to reduce my fear of water, and how to balance my ears - this step is very important if you want to dive deep.
That afternoon, the guide would dive alongside me and film and take pictures for me. I realized that when I was at sea, the water pressure was very high, so I had chest pain and couldn't dive as deep as I wanted. Depending on each person's physical condition, there will be different diving thresholds."
These are the moments that the tour guide recorded when Thuy Nguyen was enjoying her diving moments.
Important notes when diving
Scuba diving is an adventure sport and requires divers to be physically fit as well as equipped with certain skills. Along with the knowledge that the instructor taught her, Thuy also shared important notes before experiencing this sport.
* Keep your mouth closed while diving: This is an important note but she forgot 1-2 times so she drank a few sips of sea water. During the whole learning and diving process, there was always an instructor following closely so they would support her in every situation.
* Apply waterproof sunscreen : The cream will protect your skin, but it only avoids burning the skin, but the skin will definitely still be dark. In addition, you should also prepare a jar of aloe vera gel/cream to quickly restore the skin.
* Clothing : Of course, bikinis are beautiful, you should choose bright colors to look good in pictures, long flowing dresses are also fine but don't choose dresses that hug your legs. You should bring socks to avoid peeling the skin on your heels from pedaling too much.
* Stay healthy: Don't get a cold or stuffy nose before diving. If you do, it's best to cancel or postpone your dive.
* Avoid exposing your phone to seawater: The tour guide has a gopro to film underwater so you don’t need to bring your phone. Phones exposed to seawater will be ruined, so it’s best to leave them on the shore, someone will take care of filming or taking pictures for you.
