Nha Trang City (Khanh Hoa Province) proposes reopening diving sites in the Hon Mun area after a period of suspension to restore the coral ecosystem.
This proposal was put forth by the People’s Committee of Nha Trang City in a report outlining the implementation of the comprehensive plan for the restoration of Nha Trang Bay until 2030. The proposal includes reopening the diving site at Hon Mun Island after a temporary suspension to restore the ecosystem of this area.
The Nha Trang Bay Management Board had previously suggested to the People’s Committee of Nha Trang City to allow the reopening of the diving site on the southern side of Hon Mun Island. With this proposal, the Management Board will be responsible for closely monitoring and controlling the number of tourists to avoid causing strain on the ecosystem. This will be applicable only to registered professional diving organizations and individuals, and divers participating must hold international sports diving certificates.
