Nha Trang is apparently THE scuba dive spot in Vietnam. After realizing I wouldn't have enough time to go to Southern Thailand to dive before I left Southeast Asia, I decided to give Vietnamese diving a try.
Dynamite fishing is a problem in Southeast Asia, especially Vietnam. It involves throwing either commercial or homemade explosives in the water to kill schools of fish, thus making way for easy collection. The blasts not only kill marine life, but destroy coral reef. My dive company, Rainbow Divers, spoke about how they can occasionally feel the impact of explosives while they're underwater. When diving, I noticed a lot of dead coral reef. It's a very sad and widespread practice in Southeast Asia.
