Scuba Diving & Snorkeling in Hoi An: The Cham Islands

Hoi An is world-famous for its ancient yellow lanterns and tailoring, but just off the coast lies one of Vietnam’s most precious natural treasures: the Cham Island UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Consisting of eight granite islands, this protected area offers a ruggedly beautiful underwater landscape that is a must-visit for any diver traveling through Central Vietnam. At Rainbow Divers, we have been operating in Hoi An for over 20 years. While the pandemic changed the landscape of local tourism, we continue to provide world-class diving experiences through our hand-picked PADI partners who share our rigorous safety standards.

 

Rainbow Divers established the 1st PADI Dive Centre in Hoi An over 20 years ago;

 

We initially set up with Hoian Beach Resort before establishing our own identity in the Town Centre.

COVID devastated the Tourism throughout Vietnam and we sadly closed our Dive Centre.

Whilst tourism is certainly not back at the pre-Covid levels, it is increasing.

 

We're offering Daily Diving and all PADI Courses through our Official PADI Partner in Hoi An from February 19th. We have worked with them for many years so we know their Professionalism + Standards are high!
