Sihanoukville

Sihanoukville is a coastal city and the main gateway to southern Cambodia’s diving scene along the Gulf of Thailand. It serves as the base for local boat dives to nearby reef patches and wrecks, with a single liveaboard and several dive centers in town offering courses, equipment rental, and guided dives. Conditions are generally warm and tropical, with modest visibility and typical reef fish; the diving around Sihanoukville is more approachable for beginners and short trips than a high-profile destination.
