In reply to Laura. Hey Laura, I've never been to Phu Quoc so I'm not sure there. In Nha Trang I went on a "snorkel tour" that was more like a booze cruise, ha. I'm not sure if there are high quality snorkeling sites elsewhere but the ones we saw were nothing to write home about.

Love all the photos!
I snorkel. Many times good dive destinations are not good snorkel sites. Do you think Nha Trang has good sites for shallow snorkeling? Phu Quoc? Neither????? Thailand instead?
Thanks,
Laura

Thanks for this review Alex. I really want to learn to dive and I was trying to decide whether to do it in Nha Trang when I’m in Vietnam next month, or fly over to Thailand instead. You’ve helped me decide and I’m going to check out the Sailing Club too.

In reply to Mark R. This makes me really happy to hear, Mark! So glad you had such a great experience and that you shared it -- now anyone checking out this post will know the recommendation is still relevant :) And YUM I still remember the yellow curry they served us for lunch.

Hi Alex

Well, add “very credible reviewer” to your list of accolades! We have just returned from 7 days in Nha Trang (at 37C and very humid it was much warmer than Canberra!) While there I took up your advice and went out on 2 consecutive days with the gang from Sailing Club Divers. I found the crew and dive sites to be exactly as you described – crew AAA+, dive sites OK. Given it’s the start of the slow season our diving was restricted to the sites around Hon Mun Island, but on both days I saw enough to make it a very enjoyable experience. Of particular note was the fact that on both days, each “group” on the boat were assigned their own diving instructor. Being a loner I had my own dive buddy for all 4 dives. This mob are truly safety conscious but they also know how to have fun – not to mention that the chicken and vegie stir fry and rice for lunch on both days was definitely a plus!
Thank you again for your excellent on honest advice on diving in Nha Trang.

Cảm ơn – Tạm Biệt

Hi! I was just in Nha Trang and did two dives with Sailing Club after reading your blog post. It was great, thanks for the tip! We went to Moray Beach and Octopus Rock, the last one was a really nice site with several tunnels, some of them with fish schools in them.
