Scuba diving in Cambodia

Diving in Cambodia is typically warm, with water temperatures ranging from 79°F to 86°F (26°C to 30°C) throughout the year. The best time to dive is during the dry season, from November to May, when visibility can reach up to 65 feet (20 meters). The rainy season, from June to October, can bring reduced visibility due to runoff and choppier sea conditions.

Cambodia’s waters are rich in biodiversity. Divers can expect encounters with a range of marine life, from small critters like nudibranchs and seahorses to bigger species like barracudas, trevallies, and occasionally even whale sharks. The coral reefs are also home to a variety of tropical fish, including butterflyfish, parrotfish, and angelfish.

Cambodia's pristine and diverse dive sites make it an increasingly popular choice for both experienced and novice divers. Its rich marine life, combined with the country's cultural attractions, provide a unique blend of adventures above and below the water. Whether you're exploring the vibrant reefs of Koh Rong Samloem or taking on the challenges at Condor Reef, Cambodia promises unforgettable underwater experiences.
