Diving in Nha Trang, Vietnam

We got our diving certification in Nha Trang! We did a three day course, first day in the pool and the other two in the clear water of the sea. The forth day we were able to do a fun dive where we saw a pair of Lion Fish, giant clams, Angler Fish, Scorpion Fish, Clown Fish, Stone Fish, Angel, Trumpet Fish, Sea Robin, beautiful coral and schools of smaller brightly colored fish of all kinds. We were very pleased with the instructor, Tri who was Vietnamese. He had worked there for several years and even had a dive spot named in his honor.




We spent most of our time here completing the course but did manage to rent a motorbike for an afternoon to explore the interesting scenery. We cruised around the narrow back alleyways of the city and the huge food market where you can find anything from fresh fruits and vegetables to live fish, eels, frogs, cut up meat sitting out unrefrigerated...



Alex got the best haircut ever for only $1.00. The woman took great precision, using a straight razor to clear up the edges. We also had excellent Indian food several nights! One evening after a big rain, all of the electricity went off in the restaurant so the waiter immediately switched on the generator and candles. I guess it happens pretty often! No one even blinked and the meal was much more romantic in the candlelight and rain.

We really enjoyed our time here and would love to visit again someday.
