Annotation: The article is devoted to Vietnamese sea deities. Brought by water deity cause and calm storm, bestow rain. The deification of the whale is possibly connected with Tampa beliefs. The formation of Vietnamese deities associated with the sea was influenced by the Chinese deity, so the Vietnamese Holy Mother Thienhau is a Chinese deity Tian Hou. Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara (Ch. Kuan Yin) known in Vietnam as the Quan Am is revered as the mother protecting all that suffer, giving fertility and protection from all dangers. She is also the goddess-patroness of sailors.
