Diving in Vietnam in December

[Kieran_M]

Hi all,

I have a trip booked to Vietnam this December, and I have never done my PADI. I was thinking this might be a great chance to finallly do some diving, anyone got any ideas about good places to take the PADI and good places to dive, bear in mind I'll be there for a couple of weeks in mid December (into Hanoi out of Ho Chi Minh).

Thanks in advance!

Halong Bay would be a popular spot. There are actually plenty of diving schools located in the area so you will be able conduct diving expeditions.

Thanks Blackeyes, as it happens I am stopping off in Halong Bay for a couple of nights, but I'm not sure that'll be enough time. I will be in Hoi An for four nights and on Whale Island for 4 nights... do you know of any good spots around there?

Diving in Vietnam is some different feeling with yourself, you feel fear with a great enjoyment.

hi there man
i don't think december is good time to go for diving in Vietnam, the most popular place for scuba diving is Nha Trang, one year there are three rainy month from october to end of december, of course rain not last long for whole days, it is shower suny back again, but that make water less transparence. still able to go for diving but not good enough as other month. unlessly you take diving in Phu Quoc island. there are no place in Halong bay for scuba diving, but in Halong is best place for kayaking to explore the remove lagoon

Nha Trang is the prime location for scuba diving in Vietnam with PADI. Diving on a rebreather in Vietnam was a large eye opener for the local dive guides. The diving out of Nha Trang is via three types of boats. The big boat carries twenty or so divers and visits the closer and shallower divesites that are more suitable for teaching students whilst also catering for snorkellers.
Nha Trang has over 20 different dive sites to choose from and these were my recommend:
Electric Nose
Madonna Rock
Moray Beach...

in additional, Whale Island and Hoi An, Phu Quoc... are also a favorite dive site in Vietnam.
Best time to dive is from Mid-October to April.
