Encompasses Koh Kang and Ream National Park home to sites Elvis Beach, Guy's Garden, Buddha Foot, Magic Isle, Koh Ta Kiev, Koh Russie,and the Fish Gallery. On the way to the sites you might catch a few different very rare dolphins types such as fin less(pink dolphins) cruising around with White Bellied Sea Eagles soaring over head. Highlights, Good Bio Diversity with lots of small fish including pipe fish, barracuda, razor fish (shrimp fish) eel's and more. Lots of soft coral at the edges of these reefs where we like to do creatures of the deep tours, and kick out over the sand and explore, usually finding western clown fish, shy file fish, magnificent sea stars and our favorites idontknowdoyou's?!
Coral beds are very mature, with some outstanding large coral formations. Beaches in the area tend to be very long. The islands themselves have one or two small fishing villages on them, otherwise they are deserted, which makes for some awe inspiring views, and pictures. This area needs more underwater exploration as there have only been a hand full of sites located so far, with many promising areas identified. The Corner Bar where all the cool fish hang out is our most popular site. Expect to see big schools of fish. Great barracuda, Bat fish, Snappers and Fusiliers too many to count. Claude 1 a dense coral field and First Tree lots of Black Spotted tusk wrasses get to be about a half meter long . We have spotted a couple of times a Nudibranch only ever seen before at Sponge Factory, which is a deep site hard to find even with GPS. Cat Sharks, Blue Spotted Rays, Huge puffers and White eyed morays all in the same holes make Sponge Factory always a great dive Sorry Advanced Open Water Divers only!.
The future of Cambodian diving lays out here. Because of the distances to these sites, very few have been to them. Every dive is a new experience, from dolphins off the bow, to sea eagles, to underwater coral gardens of breath taking beauty. Most Sites here haven't even been found yet, much less named, with the exception of a few. One our favorites is Statues, which is a site that extends from the shore down to 35 meters, covering a large area with hundreds of underwater natural rock statues, with lots of big fish and mature coral. You can find cat sharks, frog fish, rock fish, eel's, bat fish, razor's , and just about everything that is in the Gulf of Thailand can be found here.
Virgin Reef
This site is as named, Virgin Reef. Very little damage, lots of stag and elkhorn corals, healthy fish populations and big fish come through here often. Long Fin Banner butterfly's and baramundies usually seen every dive here. Virgin Reef is a huge coral garden that we still haven't seen all of yet.
Lost Reef
We found this reef the first time we went to Koh Tang and then lost it. This year while sniffing around for new sites we dropped in and we found it again, Has a ripping long shore current close to it and lots of fish come to see what is for dinner! The site itself has very little current and lots of coral and places for fish to hide, lots of groupers. Big Cobias have been seen here on many occasions.
Name that Reef?
We have lots of other spots that we have gone too some them will be named this year. A probable is Mr Bic's a deep site in the neighborhood of Statues has a plateau of sorts at 25 meters and then slopes down.We will be looking at this site some more this season .Advanced Card needed
Condor Reef
Out in the middle of nowhere, lots of pelagic's including big sharks! Has to be great weather to go here. Best chance for a trip September to begriming December or April & May. For those of you keeping track the beginning and the end of the Shiny season. Advanced Open Water required
