Dispelling the hot summer days, tourists come to the “paradise” of Ly Son Island (Quang Ngai) to immerse themselves in the clear sea, diving to see colorful corals on millions of years of volcanic sedimentary rocks.

An Binh commune (also known as Be island), Ly Son district, seen from above looks like a turtle swimming in the vast sea and sky. Unlike many island communes in the country, the nature here is preserved by the people, and the dense, colorful coral reefs are still intact.

In April, the weather is hot and sunny, Ly Son Be Island becomes a “paradise” for island tourism, attracting a large number of tourists, especially young people who come here to swim and dive to see coral. From Quang Ngai City, visitors go to Sa Ky port, then board a speedboat for about 45 minutes to reach Ly Son port. From the harbor on Big Island, visitors can take a canoe for about 15 minutes to get to Little Island.

This is the first time I visited Be Island, Ly Son, My Tra (Hanoi) and enjoyed the pristine island space here. “My group of friends and I immersed ourselves in the emerald green sea water, truly surprised by the dense density of coral with many interesting colors spreading in the sea near the shore,” the female tourist shared.

Local people row basket boats to take tourists diving to see coral around the island. Nguyen Van Binh (HCMC) said that he had been to Phu Quoc, Vung Tau, and Nha Trang islands, but he had never felt as interesting as diving to see the coral here.

“In the summer afternoon, when the tide recedes, the coral here is only 2-3 meters below the water surface. Unlike many regions across the country, coral here has many sizes and colors growing on many clusters of volcanic sedimentary rocks in the area close to the shore,” Mr. Binh said.

Coral blooms in dense density in coastal waters. Currently, Quang Ngai has established a diving center to view coral combined with exploring interesting geological heritage including cave systems, underwater archways, underground volcanoes and ancient shipwrecks around the waters of Ly Island. Son serves tourists. Coming to this resort, visitors can participate in a diving tour to explore the volcanic lava rock dome.

Coral flowers are just like cabbage. The diving tour to explore the volcanic lava rock dome in this island commune takes about 30 minutes. Visitors can see coral and many species of seaweed and aquatic life.

The underwater volcanic lava rock arch on Be Island is about 100 meters long and has many beautiful parasitic coral species. Exploring this stone arch, Thuy Trang (Kon Tum) feels that the sea here is like an aquarium in the heart of a geological heritage that fascinates people.
