That's so cool. Vietnam is a place I long to see but am not sure I'll ever make it over there. Was this a specifically diving vacation or was the diving just a happy bonus?

Hi Tony, this trip was originally to meet my soon to be inlaws, intact I was suppose to get married there this year but because of financial problems me and my soon to be wifey decided to wait till next year.... before I left I had heard that vietnam had some of the nicest reefs, same as the reefs around malaysia and indonesia. So I made sure that I was going to get atleast 1 or more diving trips in. Unfortunately the day we arrived it was cloudy, the next 2 days were sunny which I took full advantage of.

We only spent 3 days in Nha trang but next year I will stay there for a whole week......

The diving there was cheap $40 cad for 6 hr trip which included your own dive master, lunch and the chartered boat also all that gear....... they pick you up from the hotel and drop you off after.

The moorish idol was super calm infact all the fishes around the reef were freindly. I saw puffers,triggers, tangs, parrot fish, damsels and a whole bunch of other fish swimming together. If there was a quarrel the fish would swim 2 ft and all good again. I was actually considering moving there, diving everyday and wouldn't need a tank anymore just jump in when I wanted to see corals and fish!!!

Boy I'm jealous of everyone diving and taking sweet pics. That streamer is stunning thanks for sharing.

My favorite experience while snorkeling (I can't dive yet) was following a massive school of blue tangs over the reef as they power-grazed. I did this for some time and had the sunburnt back to prove it!
