The 2025 Guide: Travel from Saigon to Con Dao for Scuba Diving
Lying roughly 230km from Ho Chi Minh City, Con Dao is Vietnam's top marine sanctuary. Famous for emerald waters and pristine reefs, it is a top destination for divers. At Amadive, we frequently encounter the query: "How to get to Con Dao from Ho Chi Minh City?"
Here is your comprehensive 2025 guide to reaching the best Diving in Con Dao.
### Route 1: Flying – The Quickest Way
To maximize your time underwater, flying is the best choice.
* Route: HCMC (SGN) to Con Dao (VCS) via Vietnam Airlines (VASCO).
* Time: 45-55 minutes on an ATR-72 aircraft.
* Important for Divers: The planes are small. Pre-purchase extra baggage for your gear. Keep dive computers and cameras in your carry-on. Note: Wait 18-24 hours after your last dive before flying!
### Option 2: High-Speed Ferry – For Adventure
Ideal for budget travelers. You can connect via Vung Tau or Soc Trang.
1. Via Vung Tau: Bus to Vung Tau (~2hrs) + Con Dao Express Boat (~4hrs). Note: Seas can be rough from Oct-Feb.
