Hi,

I'm considering going for a 3 weeks trip to Cambodia. I'd like to spend
some days (3/6) diving. Does anybody have any experience diving there?

Cambodia is not very famous because of its diving but I don't know if
it's because it's not very spectacular or just because it's not
exploited yet. How rich is the coral & life there?

If it's not very good, would it be worthy try to get Phuket from there
or is there any other place closer?

Thanks
Jorge

They have things called "maps" that can help you. Hint: Phuket is at the
southwest corner of Thailand. Cambodia borders Thailand on the northeast.

You could drive from Bangkok to the Cambodian border in 3-4 hours.

Really? Do they have maps? Man, I'm impressed how these contries are
getting developed! Maps!

I know how far Phuket is that's why I ask if there it's is such a good
dive compared with Cambodia that it's worthy to go there instead of
staying in Cambodia ...

Anyway, thanks for your information - I can see you're well-informed -
about the coral, reef, animals, diving conditions, etc.

Sorry. I misunderstood your original question.

I didn't think the Andaman Sea diving was so hot, so I personally wouldn't
interrupt a three-week vacation somewhere else to make a 2+ hour flight to
Phuket to go diving. But then I wouldn't plan a dive trip to an area where
I knew nothing about the diving. That you haven't heard anything about the
diving speaks for itself.

Malaysia is just a bit further.
