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: “In 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’t hesitate any longer to immerse myself in the waters of the Gulf of Thailand and admire the coral reefs of South Phu Quoc.<\/span><\/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.<\/span> I then jumped down and submerged myself in the clear emerald water towards the Coral Mountain.<\/a><\/span><\/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 <\/span>on the snorkeling trip to explore the An Thoi Archipelago.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

After traversing and snorkeling at Coral Mountain<\/a> I 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.<\/span><\/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.<\/span><\/p>\n

The<\/span> boat wreck<\/span> is about 7 meters long, 2 – 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!<\/span><\/p>\n\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.<\/span><\/p>\n

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