Why dive here
With 176+ marine species recorded in the area - including giant moray eels, sea turtles and pufferfish - U Turn offers some of Nha Trang's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 25-31°C, warmest May, June, September.
U Turn offers a gentle slope from 8m down to a sandy bottom at 33m. It’s a good spot for spotting nudibranchs and smaller reef fish tucked into the coral patches. Currents here are generally mild, making it a relaxed dive suitable for newer divers looking to build confidence or macro enthusiasts keen on a slower pace. We often use it for skill refreshers or photographers.
