Diving in Vietnam?

[Mikeygster]

Has anyone any experience of diving in Vietnam?































Any tips on locations and what you might see?

A friend of mine is a Vietnam Veteran, a certified diver and visits Vietnam regularly. He says that SCUBA diving in Vietnam is excellent. Nha Tran is a good place, but he says that Da Nang is even better. Also, the Champa Islands, just off the coast from Hoi An and Da Nang has some excellent dive spots. He says that there are several places you can go to get certified. It's cheaper to get certified and dive in Vietnam than just about any place in the world.































He says that you should try to bring your own respirator and any other light equipment. Leave your weight belt and tanks at home. Tank and other equipment rental is cheap too.































Have fun, and don't forget to hold your breath!

Ha Long didn't look to good, the visibility was pretty poor. Perhaps it gets better further out in the bay.

There are some scuba diving companies in Nha Trang. I saw a boat that were taking tourists diving, but I didn't go on it.
