You will see seahorses and nudibranchs, shrimp and crustaceans, and more. But you will also be delighted by the rainbow of parrotfish and boxfish, cuttlefish, and yellow goatfish. Some of the larger animals you may spot include the odd turtles gliding by and stunning blue-ribbon tail rays. The coral gardens are a riot of color and triggerfish and barracuda provide another point of interest, while you could even spot stingrays and leopard sharks.

Take the plunge and dive or snorkel with us in one of the last unexplored places on Earth. Join us for a full-day diving adventure that starts at 10.00 am from our diving center on Koh Rong Sanloem island Saracen Bay.

We suggest: sunscreen, a hat, a swimsuit, a towel, and a book. We will provide everything else you need for the trip. 

You will have water, soft drinks, coffee, and fruit all day on the boat during the trip. Once at the islands, divers will do their first dive (we aim for at least 50 or 60min dives, no 40 min diving here!) and the snorkelers can get in and explore the underwater world. Unless otherwise requested, all dives will take place at different dive sites.
