Day 221 June 18th 2007, Underwater Adventures - Nha Trang

After completing our PADI course in Australia, earlier this year, we were keen to get back under the water. Being Vietnam this is pretty cheap to do $40 to Rainbow Divers buys you 2 dives, all the equipment hire and an underwater guide (Shelley still doesn't trust my navigation)


Although not comparable to diving on the great barrier reef there was still quite a lot to see here. A few Moray Eels and some interesting caves filled with fish to swim through. My air efficiency has improved somewhat since Australia allowing me to stay under for over 50min's. Still not as good as Shelley, which according to Shelley is because I flap my arms about all over the place. Oooh listen to the expert now ;-)

A few $ ensures an almost hassle free afternoon, the beach vendors (sneaky old ladies for the most part) occasionally manage to sneak past the security guards.

Highlights: Cool underwater caves
