Nha Trang Travel Guide

Avoid most hotels listed in LP or other guidebooks. Service and maintenance have gone out the window as westerners flock straight to them. Nha Trang is bursting with US$20-30 rooms and most places dont completely fill up except for Tet and heat waves.

SCUBA Diving If you like diving then there is a place in Nha Trang Vietnam. I chose Rainbow Divers ｗｈｏ came reccomended by my local Sydney dive group. I have now dived twice with Rainbow Divers, once in Nha TRang and once in Phu Quock Island Vietnam. I found them very professional in every way Ｗｈｅｎ it came to diving and its safety. They were very easy going and friendly. I found it quite cheap to dive, eg: 2 x dives including boat hire and all gear was $35US (May 2007). By memory there are was $35US (May 2007). There ａｒｅ a few diver centres in Nha Trang however I highly reccomend Rainbow Divers.

Watch out for the monkeys on Monkey Island... this may sound like an obvious warning but they bite!  There were local kids there playing with them and picking them up and they were all fine, I was walking along minding my own business (I kid you not) and one attacked me.  Apparently it was pregnant and territorial but I didn't know that in advance!  And trust me, rabies shots hurt!  On the upside if you do happen to get bitten by a monkey here the Louis Pasteur Institute is very good and very reputable and has the rabies vaccine.
