Use Koh Tao as the regional benchmark: one of the busiest and cheapest places in the world to learn, with sheltered shallow sites for training and two deep pinnacles (Chumphon Pinnacle and Sail Rock) that bring whale sharks in spring and autumn; go March–September, avoid November–December, and choose the shop on instructor ratios and safety, not on the fixed-looking course price.Best: Mar–May, Aug–Sep

Dive Côn Đảo between March and September for the healthiest reefs in Vietnam, quiet sites and a real chance of turtles; it is small-scale (few operators and boats), so book ahead, bring your certification card, and add a night of turtle-nesting watching on Bảy Cạnh island between June and September.Best: Apr–Jun

°C
Learn to dive or do easy fun dives here between February and September: the sites around Hòn Mun are shallow (5–25 m) with little current and cheap courses, but visibility is modest (5–20 m) and the reef has suffered; from October to December the monsoon makes the sea rough and many days are cancelled.Best: Mar–Jun

°C
Dive or snorkel the An Thới islands between November and May, when the south of Phú Quốc is calm and the water is clearer; expect shallow (3–15 m), easy, sometimes murky reefs suited to beginners and snorkellers rather than keen divers, and pair it with a beach holiday rather than making it the reason to come.Best: Dec–Apr
