The best experience- thanks Amanda!

We completed our Open Water Diver course with Active Diving Vietnam. Our course consisted of one day at the pool and two days on a boat with two dives on each day. We also had e learning to complete prior/throughout. Our instructor was Amanda who was absolutely amazing! She was very experienced as a diver & could answer all our questions. As a woman myself I enjoyed having a female instructor. She ensured our experience was fun yet safe and clearly explained everything we needed to know prior to each dive. I had dietary requirements which Amanda personally ensured were catered for on the boat. After successfully completing the course we both feel confident signing up for fun dives going forward, and are already looking at what further courses are available for us to book onto to add to our skill set.

Great Diving School - Nha Trang

I recently took my son to Vietnam Active in Nha Trang to complete his Open Water course, and I have to say, it was an amazing experience! He has just turned 10, and I was a little nervous about how he would handle everything, but Phil and his team were fantastic. He was super patient and made the lessons really fun. From the first dive, I could see that my son was captivated by the underwater world. Phil was great at making sure he understood everything step by step, and he encouraged him all the way. The safety measures were top-notch, which gave me peace of mind while he was exploring the ocean. By the end of the course, he was grinning ear to ear and couldn't stop talking about all the cool fish he saw. It was such a joy to see him so excited about diving! If you’re considering a going diving in Nha Trang, I highly recommend Vietnam Active. They made the whole process smooth and memorable, and my son is already asking about his next dive adventure! Thank you Phil!

Chris, you were Amazing!

It was my first diving experience, and I found it a really fun challenge! I had a fantastic instructor named Chris, and he helped me a lot with the things I struggled with. It was a small group, which allowed you to develop yourself in the best possible way. This really made a difference and helped me get my PADI Open Water certification! Chris also had an assistant named CB, who helped me with everything I needed to get into the water. They were both super friendly guys, and I’m glad I did it with VietnamActive.

A great experience, pro training!

Vietnam Active is definitely a pro shop. I took the Open Water training while on vacation in Vietnam. Our instructor Khoa made the training very interesting and he took time to explain the exercices we had to do but also the technique on how to do them as they should. I always felt secure during the different dive regardless if they were ine the pool or in the sea. Veronka also did a great job from registration to transport coordination. I recommend them without hesitation. Thank you all! Claude Canada

Super nice diving experience🤿

The diving experience🤿 was way beyond anything I could have ever expected, it is one of the best decisions I ever made when we visited Phu Quoc. Due to my girlfriend catching a cold she had to drop out, and they were very understanding of that. My diving instructor was very friendly & patient. Price wise I think that it was worth it. I took the Open Water diving certificate

Amazing experience

I did my PADI Open Water Diver certification with Vietnam Active and cannot recommend them enough. Communication was really good, the transport from my accommodation to the boat and back was smooth, the food provided after the dives was great too. The best part was definitely my instructor Ty. The first two days it was just the two of us, on the final day we were joined by one more student. From the beginning Ty was very patient and explained each skill thoroughly. Throughout the course I could ask any questions I wanted and receive tips on how to improve my skills. He's a very competent diver and also a very down to earth person that made learning smooth and enjoyable. I had a great time doing the course and look forward to diving in the future!
