The family of a former Royal Navy sailor who died while climbing waterfalls in Vietnam said his death "is a very sad loss to us" and he "lived for life".
Christian Sloan, 25, and two women aged 19 and 25, died after taking a tour with an unauthorised guide at the Datanla waterfalls in Lam Dong province - a popular tourist spot.
His family said: "Christian's death is a very sad loss to us. He was a very popular young man, formerly in the Royal Navy, who had many, many friends not just locally but around the world. He lived for life."
