Noy and Ngay islands
Noy and Ngay Islands are where thousands of Yen Sao birds build their nests. 700 years ago, here on these islands, the first leader of the Nguyen family put his foot on the soil.
During the last 70 years, the islands were occupied by the military, and rockets were installed there.
Now, however, its peaceful again. People are remembering the birds and harvesting the nests is becoming big business again.
The islands were closed for a long time and still access is limited. Due to this fact, the marine life remained untouched. There are a huge coral gardens, turtles, octopuses. Other attractions are sloping walls up to 50 meters, and underwater rocket halls.
 
Light House
This dive site is on the exit from Nha Trang Bay. In fact, you dive almost in open ocean, between tiny rocky islands. The depth is up to 45 meters, there are small caves, lots of big fish, rays, lobsters. Recommended for experienced divers.
 
Whale Island (Van Phong Bay)
It takes two or three hours to get there, first by boat and then by car. Whale Island is about 80 kilometers north from Nha Trang, but it’s definitely worth it. The place itself is beautiful even if you don’t dive. You will like the nature, the hills, wide and pure white sand beaches.
An interesting fact – Did you know that its here there Jacques Cousteau first discovered his passion for diving?
Many coral reefs here still are not well researched, totally, around 12 divesites are here, including one of the best dive points in Viet Nam “the three kings”. In April and March Whale Sharks migrate here, following the plankton, and due to this fact the island got its name.
