Vietnam Active - Nha Trang
The team at Vietnam Active are our go-to for diving in Nha Trang. They run a slick operation, but with a friendly, personal touch that makes you feel genuinely welcome from the moment you step into their shop. We love that they keep their dive groups small, which means less fin-kicking chaos and more actual diving, whether you’re doing a course or just out for fun. They really shine when it comes to guiding you through Nha Trang’s sometimes surprising underwater landscape. We’ve found their instructors have an uncanny knack for spotting the tiny stuff – the nudibranchs clinging to coral, the camouflaged scorpionfish – that you’d swim right past otherwise. And when the current picks up a bit, which it can do around here, their boat handling and dive briefings are always spot on, making you feel safe and confident. Our favourite tip from them? Ask about their early morning trips; the visibility is often at its best then, and you beat the rush. Dive with Vietnam Active if you want a professional outfit that still feels like diving with good mates.
