Dive-site story
Moray Beach sits along the sheltered northern shoreline of Hon Mun Island within the Nha Trang marine protected area. The underwater terrain transitions from shallow hard coral gardens into a gently sloping sand bottom punctuated by scattered coral bommies and rocky fissures. Named for the resident moray eels that occupy the reef outcroppings, this site provides easy navigation and a relaxed profile favored by macro photographers.
