This is best handled as an operator-led boat dive from the Phu Quoc south-islands circuit.
South Pineapple Point / Thom Island is a deep boat dive off Hon Thom where strong current and depth shape the whole plan. It suits experienced scuba divers who want a more demanding reef day, with cuttlefish, whip corals, moray eels, and mixed reef life making it a serious but rewarding outing when conditions are right.
