Hoi An to Nha Trang

Oh I do love to be beside the seaside! The deep depths of the crystal clear waters of South East Asia have been trying to tempt me from the beginning of our travels but NhaTrang was to be the place.

I'd never heard much about Vietnam as a scuba diving destination but had seen some cool underwater pics and to be honest diving is just awesome anyway. Okay so I haven't dived in the UK yet but NhaTrang did not disappoint. I was a little bit nervous about diving as for some stupid reason I haven't dived for 4 years but it all came flooding back and was brilliant.
The guys at the dive shop were really nice and it was an ideal place for Jon to take his first tentative steps into the amazing world of diving. I say tentative but he took to it like a natural. His going to kill me for saying this but his instructor came straight over to me after their first dive before he'd even taken his kit off to tell me that he's the best he's ever had, not bad hey. We did 3 days of diving and saw loads of cool stuff, lion fish, frog fish, an octopus, loads and loads of beautiful fish and a massive moray eel.

Now that Jon's done his open water we can just go diving together, pretty cool. It felt so good to be back in the water and I can't wait to go again, hopefully in Thailand before we go home. NhaTrang as a place is quite uninspiring and it rained everytime that we went outside but when it has brilliant diving it is still alright in my eyes.
On our last day we decided to take it easy and wallow in mud baths and natural springs for the day, life's tough. After being in quite a touristy area it was great to get out of the centre and chill out with so many locals and the soft skin, it was good.
Just wanted to add something about diving, I thought it was amaaaazing, can't wait to get down there again. Hopefully on our way back through Thailand:)
