Diving In Nha Trang
Visibility about 7m due to off season. I got to be the only diver so i got one on one with dive master, so that’s a bonus in my books.
There were a tour of locals that was trying to dive, which was another plus as i felt like a local when we shared lunch on the island.
Petty nice dive with plenty of corals. But only saw small fish. It was certainly nice to use up the whole tank, only thing dodgy about the dive was my gauges, the depth meter was busted and the oxygen meter needed a shake to get accurate reading, I had put my trust to the non speaking english dive master’s skills and experience to take care of me. Lived to tell this tale, so he was good.
One other note was the boat captains of tour boats don’t respect the diving flags and hearing the motor hover over you was a little horrifying. Come to think of it, i did not see any flags either. I can say it now, it cost over a million for two dives, Dongs that is.
All in all, this dive was not the best dive, but fun none the less, small fish where you can find in most snorkelling trips. Used 10 kilos of weight due to heavier salt content.

Silk Factory Tour We did this tour on our own, rented a scooter and checked out areas on our own schedule. I always find these places a tourist trap, but this one turned out to be alright, even with these "actors" demonstrating how to manufacture the product....
Side Roads And Stops
Side Trips on Motobike After driving way past the target zones, we just enjoyed some unscheduled stops. Certainly not on the tourist trail, and driving a road that is pothole ridden, almost getting squashed by a steam roller, pretty scenic route, but not for the weak...
Coffee Farm Dalat
Weasel Coffee Plantation We got to tour around Dalat with a scooter and a hand drawn map, but cheated with google map. I could not gauge how far the distance was with minimal signage and foreign script that is unknown to us, so we ended up in areas that was not on the...
