Cambodia

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

Greg Mossman...

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

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 ...

Greg Mossman...

Sorry. I misunderstood your original question.

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

Greg Mossman...

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.

or is there any other place closer?

Greg Mossman...

Malaysia is just a bit further.

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