Beginner Scuba Diving in Phu Quoc: Prices

What it is and who it suits

Beginner scuba dives on Phu Quoc are listed at about USD 85 to 110 per person, a guide range checked on 5 November 2026. Figures differ by operator and format. A try-dive suits first-timers who want to breathe underwater with an instructor, without a certification. Message us on WhatsApp and we arrange it with local partners and confirm the exact price in the chat before you pay.

A beginner scuba dive in Phu Quoc can be 2 dives lasting 40 to 60 minutes each. A beginner tour can last 6 hours to 7 hours, including travel by boat and a briefing. Beginners are usually limited to a maximum depth of about 6 meters (20 feet). One northern Phu Quoc try-dive is described as reaching 5 to 7 meters, so depth limits depend on the site and operator.

What is included

Local sources describe beginner packages that include equipment with a dive computer, a guide or instructor, food on the boat and hotel transfers. Another listing mentions hotel pickup and drop-off, diving gear, beverages, a shared wooden boat and an English-speaking instructor. Inclusions belong to each operator, so we do not promise them. Ask:

• Is the equipment included, and who checks the fit?
• Is the instructor with me one to one throughout the dive?
• Are meals or drinks on the boat included?
• Are hotel pickup and drop-off included?
• Is insurance included, and what does it cover?

Price range

The price changes with the number of dives, the route, the group size and what is included in the quote. Outliers: some listings fall outside the headline range, for example VND 1,900,000 at the lower end and VND 3,000,000 at the higher end, and these often describe different formats. Compare what each quote covers, not only the headline number.

Safety and conditions

Beginner dives are supervised by a professional instructor, and local sources report a 1:1 ratio. Ask your operator to confirm this arrangement for your booking.

Medical and certification requirements differ by operator. Operators and local sources report that beginners may be asked to complete a health declaration; confirm the current rule on WhatsApp before you travel. If you have asthma, heart or ear problems, a recent cold or you are pregnant, tell us before booking. Read diving rules, medical forms and insurance for more detail.
