Why dive here
With 176+ marine species recorded in the area - including giant moray eels, sea turtles and pufferfish - Whale Island Housereef offers some of Nha Trang's richest reef diving. Water ranges 25-31°C, warmest May, June, September.
The Housereef at Whale Island in Nha Trang is a gentle introduction to Vietnamese diving. We found a healthy mix of hard and soft corals here, with plenty of small reef fish flitting about. It's an easy dive, often with minimal current, making it a good spot for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon. Keep an eye out for nudibranchs along the shallower sections.
