Scuba Zone

Scuba Zone in Nha Trang isn’t the deepest dive, but it’s one of our favourite spots for really slowing down and appreciating the smaller stuff. We usually drop onto a sandy patch, then work our way towards the clusters of coral bommies. This is macro heaven. Think about it: 571 species recorded here. We’ve spent whole dives just orbiting a single coral head, spotting Chain-line wrasses darting between polyps, or watching a Chestnut Blenny peek from its hole. Look out for the Horned Bannerfish, they’re particularly striking against the sand, and the Big-belly seahorses, if you’re patient enough to find them tucked away. Visibility can be a bit variable, especially after heavy rains, but we've still had cracking dives with a bit of a haze, because the action is so close up. If you're into wide-angle, you might find it a bit underwhelming, but for photographers with a macro lens, it’s a goldmine. We love hitting this site early, before the day boats get too busy, giving us the reef almost to ourselves. It’s perfect for divers who appreciate the intricacies of reef life and aren't just chasing pelagics.
