In early April, the weather was beautiful with blue sea, white sand, sunshine, and crystal clear water.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Vietnamese marine people have a saying: \u201cIn March, The old woman goes to the beach.\u201d It means the sea is so strangely smooth that everyone can leisurely sightsee the coral reefs & marine life. It was a vast blue sky day, I couldn\u2019t hesitate any longer to immerse myself in the waters of the Gulf of Thailand and admire the coral reefs of South Phu Quoc.<\/p>\n

That was a lucky day for me. After the waterway from An Thoi fishing port, I anchored my speedboat with a safe enough distance for the reef.\u00a0I then jumped down and submerged myself in the clear emerald water towards\u00a0the Coral Mountain.<\/a><\/p>\n

The consecutive mountains of Cabbage Coral created a continual miniature coral continent in the Crystal Reef. It is one of the three most attractive diving spots\u00a0on the snorkeling trip to\u00a0explore the An Thoi Archipelago.<\/a><\/p>\n

After traversing and snorkeling at\u00a0Coral Mountain<\/a>\u00a0I turned left in the direction of the Fingernail islet. I felt like the sea was trying to transmit some mysterious signals to me. After 5 minutes I changed my direction, something magical slowly appeared. At my first glance, it seemed like a giant dolphin lying dormant on the seafloor. I had a strange excitement, a feeling of enchantment. I took a deep breath, and duck-dived to see the unknown object.<\/p>\n

Oh my god! It was unbelievable that it was a boat of an unfortunate fisherman wrecked. After overpassing lots of nautical miles, it ripped in Crystal Reef forever.<\/p>\n

Discovering the Boat Wreck made me thrilled \u2013 Phu Quoc Snorkeling & Diving<\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The\u00a0boat wreck\u00a0is about 7 meters long, 2 \u2013 2.5 meters wide with an intact cockpit and a propeller. Looking inside it, I also saw a kitchen, a few cans of mini gas stoves, knives, scissors, old mesh, and objects of a mobile house on the sea. Schools of fish living in the coral reef took the boat to make their luxury villa, while the sea crabs were groping for themselves in a safe space. Life kept going because the wreck still had its meaning. What a miraculous nature!<\/p>\n

After 30 minutes of diving & snorkeling to explore the wreck, I finished out our snorkeling at Crystal Reef with a lot of new excitement gained.<\/p>\n

I decided to call it Black Pearl. Although it was not as big as Hollywood\u2019s Black Pearl, it was still a highlight in many marvelous things about Crystal Reef.<\/p>\n
