DIVING
For the avid
diver or first timer, Vietnam is the ideal destination to see
the splendid underwater sea life of this tropical nation. With
professional PADI instructors and modern diving equipment you

diving adventure. Vietnam's most ideal diving season starts from
March to September. Please contact us for a creative dive vacation.
Diving
in Nha trang:
Just
a 45 minute flight to the coastal city of Nha Trang from Ho Chi
Minh City, you will be able to experience the relaxing sea breeze
under the swaying coconut trees as you prepare to start your diving
adventure in Vietnam.
We have 8
different dive sites for our diving and the sites we dive
depends on the weather (primarily the wind direction) and the
diver's
experience. We can offer wall dives, caves/swim through and reef
dives:
Wall Dives:
We have 2 wall dives - a small wall to a maximum depth of
28 metres and a large wall to a maximum depth of 40 metres (for
experienced divers only). Both walls offer beautiful soft corals,
large fan corals and large amounts of lion fish. The small wall
also
provides the occasional, rare frog fish as well as 2 large caverns
to
swim into. On the small wall there is also the bare remains of
a
wooden ship wreck. The large wall provides the opportunity to
sight
larger fish, e.g. large moray eels, grouper, stingrays and manta
rays,
although these are not guaranteed on every dive!
Caves/Swim
Throughs: The dive begins on the reef in 5 metres of
water. As you descend, to a maximum depth of 26 metres, there
are
many large rocks which form small caves and swim throughs. The
swim
throughs are filled with many fish and different types of soft
corals.
The Dive Guides carry torches to show the beautiful colours inside
the caves. The dive ends back on the reef.
The Reef:
The reef starts at 1 metre and continues to a maximum depth
of 18 metres. The reef offers many different types of beautiful
hard
and soft coral, different types of reef fish, a large amount of
clown
fish, large morays eels and a few rare varieties of fish, e.g.
frog
fish and leaf fish.
We try to
arrange the diving so we dive either the caves or a wall in
the morning and dive on the reef in the afternoon.
Diving
in Danang:
Just over
an hour's flight from the main cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh
City, Danang is distinguished and remembered for " China
Beach". Well known in past history as the ultimate place
for relaxation. With its serene crystal blue water spread amidst
white sandy beach is the perfect setting for a picture perfect
