Most likely Koh Samui and Phuket. You are in Vietnam now? That is a place I would like to visit as well? Do you recommend it? Are you a native of Vietnam?

I am Indonesian who work in Vietnam :)
I heard about whale island near Nha Trang for diving destination, but a friend of mine who had been there said, its not "really" diving spot. So i cant recommend it as i never been there yet :)

For the modern metropolitan city you can see it in South Vietnam (Saigon area), but for the traditional Vietnamese culture you should visit North (Hanoi area). I live in city next to Hanoi. This north area so traditional communist area. Here you can find the famous Halong Bay, Parfume Pagoda, Sapa :)

Thank you very much for the quick and efficient replies. I certainly could use your assistance and knowledge. I might need a tour guide. :) Happy diving. Who knows maybe we will dive together someday. I teach science and take kids snorkeling in Florida and many go on to be certified divers. I am actually teaching about the oceans this week and next. We will learn about bioluminecence and other fascinating subject matter. We will also do labs on bioluminescence and chemiluminecence. Take care!
