The first yacht visiting the Sunset Beach

At New Years we have had the first yacht visiting the Sunset Beach on Koh Rong Samleun. Bernd, a friend of us, sailed all the way from the Sultanate of Oman to Cambodia. It took him several years and made him undergo plenty of adventures when sailing via the Maldives and Thailand towards the Kingdom of Cambodia.

By now we are planing to build two mooring buoys to grant an easier and safer access to our beach for yachts.

This years whaleshark season has begun

On this years first liveaboard trip to the outer islands of Koh Tang and Koh Prins we have spotted a whaleshark!



Whalesharks are quite common around Koh Prins island and can be spotted best in between January and April. This animal was a quite small one, around 3 meters in lengh. Hopefully we will be given the chance to dive with its mother soon!

During our high season we run several trips every week to bring our guests to the best dive sites in Cambodian waters. For further informations please don't hesitate to contact The Dive Shop Cambodia via info@diveshopcambodia.com.

Thank God I'm finished!

CAN I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE?!

 Professional Diving World, meet your newest brother, Sten Allikas - PADI Divemaster!

Sten originally joined the "Robinson Bungalows" Team as the Manager in 2012, where he was invited to go for a dive and as we all know diving is addictive! It didn't take him long to ask Dennis if he could swap teams to do his Divemaster Training with "The Dive Shop".

Today Sten completed his PADI Divemaster course and is off to discover what Australian Reefs have to offer!!!

We would like to say a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Sten for completing his Divemaster Course and BIG THANK YOU for being you!!!

We wish you all the very best and look forward to seeing you again next year!!!

Love from The Dive Shop Team!!!

Look what Gill from Paradise Bungalows found on a recent trip to Koh Ron Samleom!

These rocks have engravings in Thai, Khmer and French.

 We believe this one to be dated 1876 and 1883.....

.....and this one 1805.

Another beautiful video found on youtube!

We found this beautiful video today of our old home on Koh Rong taken by one of our lovely guests.

We are very proud that our guests appreciate our home as much as we do and at The Dive Shop we strive to make our guests enjoy their surrounds as much as possible.

When we see videos like this and photos from our guests enjoying themselves it makes us tremendously happy.

To see our new home please have a look at this video
