About Turtle Island

Turtle Island, or Doi Moi in Vietnamese, is named after the shape of the island, not that you can see Turtle here. Diving is available on the North, West, and South side of the island. All sites provide amazing macro life with wonderful hard and soft coral bommies and boulder formations. The island does provide shelter from the occasional heavy swell as such it is possible to dive somewhere around in most conditions. The occasional big visitor does come by. If you're lucky, you might see Great Barracuda, Tuna, or even a Turtle! Rainbow Divers recommends either the North or West side of the island. The boulder formations on the northern side can yield some unusual surprises.
