Fishing, scuba diving to see coral in Phu Quoc

Going fishing and diving to see coral are two of the most attractive experiences in Phu Quoc. According to fishermen on the island, the fishing season takes place all year round, except on rough sea days. 

However, the most ideal time is from November to April. Visitors can buy package tours by day or rent a boat to go fishing or squid fishing at night. The average tour price per day is about 550,000 VND per person including activities of visiting pearl farms, diving to see coral, fishing, and squid. If you just want to go fishing, you can rent a boat, priced at about 1.3 million VND for 5 people, and individual travelers join a group for about 250,000 VND per person. Guests must wear a life jacket before starting the journey. Instead of using a rod, visitors will be equipped with a reel of fishing line with lead and hooks. People on the island call this fishing, using chopped fresh squid or shrimp as bait. The ship set sail and anchored at Doi Moi island and Mong Tay island. 

From May to October is the rough sea season, visitors can go fishing at Ong Doi cape and Dam Ngang island, about 6 nautical miles from An Thoi port. According to the boat owner's instructions, visitors just need to hook the bait, drop the hook until it touches the bottom, keep the fishing line taut to know when the fish bites and lift it up. The fishing line usually touches the bottom at about 10 meters. If the water and wind are favorable, you can catch a lot. Otherwise, visitors have to wait patiently for ten minutes for the fish to take the bait. 

After about 10 minutes, two professional fishermen caught about a kilogram of fish including: black grouper, giant grouper or grouper. The caught fish is grilled or deep-fried immediately afterward for visitors to enjoy. In addition, you can also order the cruise ship to prepare some snail dishes, seafood, porridge, and salad to eat right on the ship. The best time to fish is early in the morning. Then the boat will move to shallow beaches with coral for tourists to dive and swim. Phu Quoc occasionally has rain this season, but it quickly stops and does not affect tourists' fun activities much.
