Hon Cau
Also known as: Cau Island
The farthest of the three islands most often dived from Con Son, 20 to 30 minutes by speedboat, with wide shallow reefs of branching coral. Its main dive site, Shark Fin, combines coral gardens with nudibranch-rich areas and larger visitors such as giant barracuda, trevally, bamboo sharks and turtles.
Hon Cau, also called Cau Island, is the most distant of the three islands on Con Dao Dive Center's regular trips and is also known for the Co Van Temple. Underwater it offers extensive shallow reefs of branching coral between about 2 and 8 metres. The main dive site, Shark Fin, mixes shallow coral, nudibranch-rich zones and structured hard coral gardens where giant barracuda, trevally, bamboo sharks and sea turtles can appear. Rainbow Divers highlights its soft coral gardens and the chance of bamboo sharks or blue-spotted rays hiding in crevices. Visibility is often the best in the archipelago and frequently exceeds 20 metres.
