Dive Vietnam - Trips and Courses Rainbow Divers National Geographic Dive Center PADI 5 Star Dive Center
Rainbow Divers have been operating World Class Diver training and guided experiences in Vietnam for 15 years now. It remains one of the best value locations in the world for recreational divers. It also suffers from almost no legal regulation of Diving standards and Service provider obligation.

We know our industry, how to ensure 5 Star service, 5 Star equipment, 5 Star air, 5 Star instruction and 5 Star guides. Its very easy to cut corners in any business but here at Rainbow we believe people have expectations: safety, professionalism, knowledge and service. That’s our proven track recored.

In compliance with Vietnamese Government regulation all our prices are set in Vietnamese Dong (VND). For your convenience we have them updated daily into two main currencies: US$ and EURO.
