Both of these days started pretty early...getting up at 7AM to be on the boat by 8AM. Over the course of 2 days did a total of 4 dives getting down to about 16 meters at one point. As cheesy as it may sound...it really is another world underwater and the visibility here has been pretty good so saw some cool things. The coral around Mun Island was fanastic! Colors I didn't know existed and the fish were neat as well. Saw schools of barracudas, trumpetfish and a bunch that I have no idea the name about. Once we were done with all 4 open water dives I took my PADI test and passed with 96%. Officially certified...another thing to add to my list of qualifications! As part of the promotion the company ran this month I'll get two free dives on Sunday so I'm already putting it to use. I hope to take the camera underwater and get some good pics so look out for those.
Friday night I met up with a pair of Belgian guys who were diving on the boat that day. We had dinner in town and then hit the town to see this famous nightlife. Spent most of the night having beers on the street at these little bars with stools/small tables right on the sidewalks...cheap beer at 8,000 dong (17,500 dong = $1USD). Afterwards we moved to the Why Not? Bar which was a good time. Met lots of people from all different places and then the group migrated to the Sailing Club on the beach. The Sailing Club is where the party ends every night apparently and it did not disappoint. Set up like an outdoor night club the music was blasting and with a good crowd it was definitely a good time. Haven't had a big night in a while since been moving around alot and having to get up early for the dive courses so it was a nice release...celebration as well. Good transition back into the solo travel too and I forgot how easy it was to meet people to hang out with when you're on your own. Nha Trang nightlife was solid and the town on the whole is really cool....clear water, good weather and lots of travelers. I think a lot of people find what they search all over Thailand for in Nha Trang since its just got a better feel...if you make it to Vietnam - make sure you check this place out!
