Diving in Vietnam

Explore diving in Vietnam

From breathtaking beaches and pristine coastline to thousands of motorbikes buzzing through one of the vibrant metropolises, Vietnam is a land of staggering natural and cultural experiences.

Vietnam is a relative newcomer as a dedicated dive destination, however this adds to the element of adventure for those divers exploring this exciting destination.

Pelagic sea creatures do not frequent this area but there is plenty of macro life and cool caverns to explore at Madonna Rock. Maximum depth is typically 25m and is suitable for all levels of divers.

There is plenty of variety here with macro dives among lush soft corals and even exciting drift dives. Northern dive sites boast towering pinnacles and coral teeming with pipe fish, seahorses and nudibranch as well as schooling fish.
