Jeremy Stein started Rainbow Divers in the mid 90’s and is responsible for opening the 1st PADI divecentre in Vietnam. Now, Rainbow Divers seems to be omnipresent throughout Vietnam and certainly synonymous with professional training and diving standards. Jeremy and his International diveteam continue to pioneer diving in Vietnam!

THE DIVE VIETNAM TEAM:

Diving in Vietnam is possible throughout the year with the season in Nha Trang & Whale Island between January – November, between October – May in Phu Quoc, March – August in Hoi An & March – September in Con Dao.

The name Rainbow Divers derived from a famous Bar & Night Club on the beach in Nha Trang. Unfortunately the bar was demolished at the end of 2002, but the Rainbow name continues to grow from strength to strength in the International diving community. The Rainbow Bar has now re-opened in the centre of Nha Trang and operates as the National HQ for Rainbow Divers.

The strength of Rainbow Divers is undoubtedly it’s unique combination of offering top quality PADI training and the finest recreational diving:
