Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 16 days ago
TL;DR
Snorkeling near Da Nang is generally considered average and not comparable to the Red Sea in Egypt. If you are not staying overnight on the islands, it is usually more practical to take an organized tour, most commonly to Cù Lao Chàm.
What the community said
Travelers describe snorkeling near Da Nang as decent but fairly average, so it is not the place to expect Red Sea-style coral or visibility.

If you are not planning to stay overnight, a packaged day tour is usually the easier option than going on your own, especially for a simple one-day trip.

The feedback did not suggest this spot is clearly better than comparable options, so it is more worth visiting for the boat trip and island experience than for exceptional snorkeling.
