Hi all

Now I'm looking at three weeks in Vietnam in August, catching the train down from Hanoi to Saigon (Ho Chi Min) with stops along the way.

Does anyone know anyone who's dived caves in Vietnam?

Cheers

No, but there are some great "dry" caves there, so there is a good chance there are UW ones too.

Contact Bruce Koneff (ANDIBKK) over on rebreatherworld. He has lived in PI and Thailand for the last 18 or so years and does alot of expedition cave diving in the region. I know he has been diving in Vietnam but do not know if it was cave diving but eitherway he would most likely know whom you could contact.

Looks like there would be no shortage of potential sites if you could hook up in the right area
