We had no diving licence and it was our first dive ever and totally worth it. The visibility was incredible, on the first dive we got individual divemaster who guided us through the experience and showed the underwater world. On the second dive we could float on our own and gain more in depth experience. After the dive you are free to snorkel or swim around the boat as you wish. You can also get photos and…”

10.Scuba Diving 3 Islands Nha Trang Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.4 · 5 reviews · from $57

Join Let’s Fly Travel for an eight-hour Nha Trang Bay outing with hotel pickup, boat transfers, a 15 to 20 minute guided scuba session at Coral Bay 1, snorkeling, lunch at Con Se Tre, and a quiet afternoon at Coral Bay 2. An English-speaking guide accompanies the group.

“What this tour actually is: Transportation to two island ‘resorts’ where they will try and sell you additional packages. If you do not book the packages, you will be left on the beach for 2-3 hours. The coral and wildlife of the dive were incredible, however it is a guided tour, meaning you won’t have fins or any autonomy of your own. They have someone on your back maneuvering you around. Only good for someone who has never dove before. Lunch was served cold, the highlight was boiled clams. The tour guide was very nice, spoke great English and was funny. The tour itself is just dishonestly advertised.Read more”
