The prime minister has asked the Ministry of Transport to co-operate with concerned agencies on the service’s scope of operations, ensuring environmental regulations and safety for visitors.

During the service implementation, concerned agencies will regularly conduct checks on dive boats and other supporting services for visitors’ safety.

This will be a new and special tourism product for the tourism development in Nha Trang.

Dive boats are totally noiseless and they do not badly affect local marine ecology. They can transport 24 tourists and two crew members at a time while travelling at the highest speed of three nautical miles per hour or 5.5 km per hour.
