<\/p>\n

If you enjoy scuba diving, you are probably thinking of your next diving trip constantly.\u00a0 Did you know that diving in Asia is one of the most mesmerising experiences you could have?\u00a0 Of course, the Asian continent is incredibly vast and there are hence countless diving opportunities for you to choose from as well. We would like to take some time to have a look at some places to go diving in Asia.<\/p>\n

Diving in Asia \u2013 Some Basics<\/h2>\n

In most Asian countries, there is something called a diving season and it is sometimes forbidden to dive outside of these seasons.\u00a0 In the Maldives, for example, the month of December is fully off season and it is not recommended to dive between March and September.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

In Burma and Thailand, diving is off season between June and September and not recommended in May and October unless you choose to dive the Thai islands of Koh Samui<\/span> and Koh Tao<\/span>.<\/p>\n\r\n <\/iframe>\r\n\n

Indonesia does not have any periods classed as off season, but between the months of December and March it is not recommended.\u00a0 It is important that you check any restrictions before you go diving, as they can vary slightly from year to year.<\/p>\n

Diving in Asia – Vietnam<\/h2>\n

Vietnam<\/span> is becoming an increasingly popular scuba destination and more and more diving schools are sprouting up all the time.\u00a0 The eastern coastline is the best place for diving, but it seems most diving enthusiasts flock to Nha Trang<\/a>, although Da Nang is also becoming more popular.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Diving in Vietnam is a fantastic experience for both amateurs and advanced divers, with gentle reefs and deep vertical walls alike.\u00a0 Although Vietnam is becoming increasingly popular, it is still reasonably untouched at present.<\/p>\n

One of the reasons why Vietnam should be a destination if you are thinking of diving in Asia is because of the coral.\u00a0 Did you know that almost half of the known corals on the planet grow in the waters off Vietnam?\u00a0 Besides fantastic corals<\/a>, you can also find morays, sharks, rays and any other fish.<\/p>\n
