PHAN DINH DUNG
Safety Specialist
Phan Dinh Dung, also known by his nickname Seven, comes from Ha Tinh, a province renowned for its majestic natural landscapes, historical sites, and rich cultural heritage. Dung initially served as a senior tour guide at Oxalis Adventure and is now a Safety Specialist.
Before joining Oxalis, Dung worked as a guide for tours to Paradise Cave. Driven by a desire for professional growth, he decided to change paths and commit to Oxalis Adventure.
With over 7 years of experience, Dung is now one of the key members of Oxalis’s team of specialists. As a guide, he was known for his dedication, prioritizing safety as his guiding principle. He was always ready to assist his team in any emergency. In addition to guiding, Dung has taken on multiple roles. However, his love for nature eventually brought him back to the guiding role and later to his current position as Safety Specialist.
Dung transitioned into the Safety Specialist role with a deep motivation to receive training in international safety standards. His primary responsibilities include overseeing and inspecting all equipment, from harnesses and carabiners to helmets and life jackets, ensuring zero risks. He also checks the tour routes to guarantee the safety of both guests and staff. For the safety assistant team, Dung ensures that all members actively engage in rescue training and become proficient in equipment use. He has trained the team on lifeline systems, first aid, and stretcher-based rescue, thereby enhancing emergency rescue skills.
Dung graduated from Quang Binh University, where he developed his language skills, particularly in English, to confidently interact with international tourists. He has also completed numerous technical training sessions with the British-Vietnamese Cave Expedition Team, covering areas such as first aid, river crossings, harnessing techniques, and other safety skills. An avid learner, Dung always has valuable insights to share with guests.
Outside of work, Dung is passionate about adventure and exploration. He has traveled extensively, especially in the mountainous areas of Northwestern Vietnam. However, his favorite activity remains cave exploration in Quang Binh, which he finds uniquely thrilling and unlike any other experience.
