sites around the island. Depths of 5-15 meters. (Map)
Koh Rong Samloem Rocky reefs host a variety of marine life in
shallow waters and at depths up to 18 meters. Like all of the nearby
islands the best diving and visibility is on the west side. Species
sightings include cobia, puffer fish, moray eels, octopus, rays, crabs,
nudibranch, cuttlefish, scorpion fish, lion fish, barracuda, yellow
goatfish, parrotfish and more. (Map)
Koh Kon (‘Baby Island’) is, as the name implies, a small island
sitting just off the north tip of Koh Rong Samloem. Rocky, coral
encrusted outcrops on the west and south sides of the island provide
home to a variety of corals and marine life including anemones, box
fish, parrot fish, yellow goat fish, snappers, stingrays, moray eels and
cat sharks. Visibility is moderate, averaging around 10 meters, though
better on some days. (Map)
Koh Tang, Koh Prins, Poulou Wai
Some of the best diving in the
area lay 4-8 hours southwest, around Koh Tang, Koh Prins and Poulo Wai.
The area has rocky reefs, depths of 15-40m and much better visibility
than reefs closer to shore, ranging from 10-30m, usually around 15m. Koh
Prins has two shipwrecks to the northwest at 30-40m. Koh Tang is a
favorite diver’s destination. The island played a major role in the 'Mayaguez
Incident' and still shows the scarring of the May 1975 battle between
American and Khmer Rouge forces. The surrounding waters offer
several reefs and outcroppings displaying a particularly colorful
variety of hard and soft corals, an abundance of other marine life, and
consistently good visibility.
