Scuba Diving

365 days a year

(but it's tough in the rainy season)

You know how to dive already?
Plenty of dive shops that can take you on their boats, and supply everything you need.  EcoSea, Dive Shop Cambodia, Chez Claude and Scuba Nation are some of the biggest.  In Engish, French, Khmer, Russian, Dutch, Spanish, German, Japanese, and a few other languages.  2 and 3 day trips are common, but most of the diving is out and back in one day.  The overnight trips usually include everything, including food, drink, and accommodations on one of the islands.  Most seem to have the PADI and/or SSI certification, but the scuba diving company owners are all too busy now to write anything for this website.  Most places also rent diving gear.  Also, a great selection of diving gear, kayaks and canoes, and water sport equipment at Kimmanu Water Sports.  

Want to learn?
 All the dive shops have training courses. Training prices generally start at $70 - $150.  Practice in swimming pools in the morning or evening, and diving in the day with experienced and certified instructors.  Fun dives (already certified) start at $50 or less.
Boating
Sailing, island trips, fishing and other water sports are available. Otres Nautica rents all kinds on small watercraft.  Fisherman's Den does fishing trips. Sailing Cambodia offers island hopping on their yacht.  And on most any beach, you can rent a boat for an hour or a day with crew.

Just Snorkelling,
You can usually get a boat trip to the islands, including snorkelling, and a meal for $15 and up.  These trips usually stop around or at one of the closer islands. Check out Powerdives, Seahorse and ...

Some islands that provide snorkeling are Jonty's Jungle Camp, Lazy Beach, and Koh Ru
