RAINBOW DIVERS opened
this PADI 5 Star Gold Palm IDC Center at the
beginning of
2002. However, the Island haBs been
associated with Scuba Diving for many years. For
example, did you know that it was here on Whale
Island that Jacques Cousteau first discovered his
passion for diving!
The resort is located 80 kms North of Nha Trang at
the tip of an archipelago. It is absolute paradise
– your own ‘desert island’ where you can really
get away from it all!
The
bamboo bungalows right on the beachfront are
complete with shower & wc, and offer accommodation
for up to 60 guests. Meals are served 3 times a
day and are a delicious combination of traditional
Vietnamese cuisine with a strong French influence.
(Probably something to do with the fact that the
resort is owned and run by a Frenchman called
Michel together with his lovely Vietnamese wife,
Lan Phuong)
Advance booking is
essential as the resort is extremely popular. This
can be done through Rainbow Divers bbb
The
island offers a wild and natural environment where
the marinelife, flora & fauna are a nature lover’s
dream, both above and below the water!
The diving here is perfect for beginners and
experienced alike. There is safe & simple diving
from the beach to a maximum depth of 15 metres.
The morning boat dives offer more exciting &
adventurous diving; wall dives down to 40 metres,
coral gardens at 10-15 metres, racing drift dives
and of course less strenuous Nudibranch spotting!
Whales, sharks & whale sharks are regularly seen,
as are rays and some pelagics.
Whilst the diving here on Whale Island & in Nha
Trang will never compete with The Red Sea and
Great Barrier Reef, we are convinced that your
overall dive experience will be un-matched!
We are currently trying to establish a Turtle
Hatchery on the Island and, whilst it is still
very much in its infancy, we are convinced of
success and are considering changing the name of
the resort to ‘Turtle Island’!
All
PADI courses are offered here, from the
introductory Discover Scuba upto Instructor

Vietnam. Headed by English PADI Course Director
