1-4th July - Wreck Diving Adventure
1st July – Was going to leave SHV, but saw Ecosea advertising the wreck dive. Enquired and found out that they were leaving the following day (Friday) for a few day’s diving adventure. I decided to join them, and do my advanced course at the same time ($150). Didn’t do much during the day… Chatted with American/British couple as well as British couple at Bungalows that night.
View from the port at Ko Sdach
2nd – Got 12pm ferry to Ko Sdach (near Ko Samit…. 2 hours by ferry (half way between Koh Kong and SHV), set up camp on the island. Fred (Yankee instructor, owner of Ecosea) and Andy (Kiwi DMT – Dive Master Trainee) went for a very brief night dive off harbour…. Came back because of bad visibility, and strong current.
3rd – Diving off Ko Sdach (another smaller island to the west – Ko Sdach Leu ?) Did an early morning dive off the beach on Ko Sdach, but it was very shallow, low vis, not very fun. The boat was grounded, so we took a longtail to the other island. Two dives, both not bad, not amazing. 3-5m vis, 10m deep? A bunch of fish, a bunch of coral.
4th – Left Ko Sdach, back for SHV. Didn’t do much, stayed at Sihanoukville Hotel. Went for Independence Day drinks at Spitfire, then picked up Caan and went to Biba for a catfish and some drinks.
