Water sports enthusiasts in Vietnam can now try the following.
SCUBA diving
The coral reefs off the coast of Phu Quoc, Nha Trang, Quy Nhon, and Ninh Thuan are great playgrounds for scuba divers. In addition to walking in the deep blue world, getting to know clownfish, lionfish, and sea slugs that you have only seen on TV before, scuba diving also brings a separate peace that no other terrestrial discipline has. Be careful not to step on the corals or touch the sea creatures!
You can learn to get a scuba diving license at centers such as Rumblefish Vietnam or Viet Divers. The entire theoretical and practical learning process is usually encapsulated in one to two weeks. In addition, the centers also have day-to-day trial diving courses for you to experience before deciding to pursue this discipline.

Surfing
With more than 200 days of good winds per year, Mui Ne soon became a destination for kitesurfers in Southeast Asia. From November to March, you can easily see colorful kites fluttering on the beach along the embankment.
To start kitesurfing, you'll be guided by your instructor about the wind, and practice flying a small kite before practicing flying a big kite. It will take a few sessions to get used to kitesurfing, but once you're able to surf the sea on your own, you won't want to go back to shore!

Kitesurfing
After the golden age of kayaking, in recent years, SUP (stand-up paddle boarding) has come to the throne. Unlike the other 4 sports that can only be played in nature, SUP is increasingly popular in big cities. West Lake, Saigon River, or Han River are all familiar SUP paddling spots.
It's called stand-up boarding, but you can still sit, kneel, or even lie down in the sun right on the board. SUP's versatility is one of the reasons why the sport is so beloved by so many people. Learning to row SUP is relatively easy. Maybe it only takes 15 minutes for you to confidently stand and paddle around the limestone outcrops of Lan Ha Bay, or watch birds nest on Ba Be Lake!

Rafting
You don't need to be a pro to try your hand at whitewater rafting, but you definitely have to have a little adventurous blood. Five or six people shouted and rowed a pontoon boat to overcome the white tight waters, bends, and some even fell into the stream--rafting is definitely not for the faint of heart.
The journey of rafting over waterfalls in Da Lat or Dak Lak is often combined with trekking. You will have to trek deep into the forest to reach the streams and rapids. Put on a helmet, put on a life jacket, prepare yourself a soul of steel, and hold on to it!
