Diving is an impressive and intriguing activity that tourists head closer to the sea to experience. Nha Trang is one of the few cities in Vietnam where diving is very popular. The thing is, in the coastal waters you can find many interesting things – from beautiful corals and marine life to sunken ships and airplanes.

The diving season in Nha Trang begins in March and ends in September. The rest of the time, diving might not be of very high quality due to heavy rains and winds. Accordingly, from October to February, the water in the sea can be murky.

At the diving schools in Nha Trang, you will be taught how to dive with and without scuba gear, even if you have had a lifelong fear of water. Advanced courses are available for experienced scuba divers. Each diving instructor has extensive diving experience and all the necessary licenses to train other students.

Interestingly, the world-famous marine explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau made his first dive right in the South China Sea, which washes the shores of Vietnam. Now everyone can feel like a marine explorer. In the local waters, you can see colorful fish, sharks, turtles, shells, and, of course, over 300 species of coral. Experienced divers will be able to see sunken ships, ancient structures, and caves.
