As the Republic of Vietnam grows more and more as a tourist favorite destination in South East Asia, its shore line is home of some good dive sites in Nha Trang and off to the island of Mun also known as Hon Mun.
Situated on the north east of Ho Chi Minh City (former Saigon), and far from the murkier waters of the MeKong river delta, Nha Trang offers great Vietnamese culture, essentially based on the harvest of the sea in a very traditional way. The coast line around Nha Trang has developed through history its pure tradition of fishing techniques and it will be possible to visit some of these fishermen villages, guardian of aincient traditional fishing secrets.
Vietnam is the newest dive destination. Nha Trang offers fantastic sites: with over 350 different species of coral, also various and rich underwater life. Off Nha Trang lies the island of Mun, home of some interesting dive sites for the adventurous diver.

This is the island where all dive sites already mentioned in the Nha Trang section are located. It also has a couple of other sites such as Rainbow Reef and Tiger Wall.
