A new activity has recently emerged in Vietnam — different from the traditional scuba diving gear most people are familiar with, this one emphasizes “walking on the seabed.” It involves wearing specially designed outfits to explore the ocean floor, where you can admire colorful, beautiful coral reefs and a rich variety of marine life.

According to Lonely Planet, Vietnam’s Cham Islands (Cham Islands) provide tourists with equipment to walk on the sea surface — a new activity that has quickly gained popularity following its successful promotion in Nha Trang. The Cham Islands are famed for their azure waters, white sandy beaches, sunshine, and stunning coral reefs. Although they may not be as well-known as Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, the natural beauty here is absolutely breathtaking.

In the “walk on the seabed” activity, guides will lead visitors down to depths of 15 to 20 meters, with each trip lasting around 20 minutes. The area is home to 135 species of coral, unique shrimp species, and soft-bodied marine creatures — all worth seeing. Also, non-swimmers don’t need to worry, as this activity is not limited to those who can swim.
