Abstract
The purpose of this study is to improve service quality for dive tour operators in Nha Trang (Viet Nam), so the objectives were set to understand the divers' opinion on dimensions of service quality of diving experiences in Nha Trang, and their evaluation of the diving tour operators' performance.
