Planning a Diving Vacation in Vietnam
In Vietnam, each diving area has its own season. In Nha Trang Bay, day boats run all year round, except that the core zone around Hon Mun Island is closed to divers. Further north on Whale Island, you can dive from the beach from late February to October. Near Hoi An, boats run to the Cham Islands from February to mid-October, which together with Hoi An form a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. In Con Dao National Park, you can see sea turtles, preferably from March to September. On Phu Quoc in the Gulf of Thailand, you can dive from October to April, with most sites located in the archipelago south of An Thoi.
This booklet helps you plan your week. The dive center’s weekly schedule shows how boat trips and house reef dives are spread across the days, with a plan B if the boat cannot sail due to the weather. The last day before your return flight is kept dive-free. The seasonal guide lists water and air temperatures, wind, visibility, crowds, and special highlights for each month, so you can choose your dates before booking your flights and accommodation.
You will receive an A5-format PDF that you can read on your phone or tablet while on the go and print as a booklet at home.
