Scuba Diving

There are many islands off the Cambodian coast that have lots of coral and fish. Sihanoukville used to have many dive centers but after all the Chinese investments happening in the city and the effect of Covid, all the dive centers have moved to the islands of Koh Rong and Koh Rong Sanloem. The best dive sites are in front of M'Pai Bay village on Koh Rong Sanloem, and it is the place on the islands where you will find the biggest concentration of dive centers for this reason.

Price: 2 dive day trips US$85-105

Snorkelling
Possible around most of the islands, with the best snorkelling being at the further our islands for visibility, corals and fish. Many restaurants at Serendipity Beach advertise a snorkelling trip for US$15, but most are incapable of properly explaining what their offer includes. Most will boil down to the same trip organized by one of the travel agents which includes (simple) breakfast at the beach, a visit to two snorkelling spots and a 3-hr lunch break at Koh Russei (Bamboo Island). If you are serious about your snorkelling, you should consider going with one of the three scuba dive shops, to ensure you get proper gear.
