At first I was apprehensive learning to dive in Cambodia. I was concerned about safety, having decent equipment and good teachers. Having called both scuba providers I settled on Scuba Nation once I realized the advertised prices of the competition were artifically low and did not include everything that was necessary to learn to dive.

I took the opportunity to do my classroom instruction in Phnom Penh while I toured the city and then a few days later I headed to Sihanoukville to actually dive in the ocean. Both Gerard and Vicky were terrific. There was plenty of western style food, comfortable bunkbeds and nothing short of amazing diving. It is only now that I have experienced diving in other locations that I can truely appreciate the clear Cambodian waters and plentiful flora and fauna. Thanks for making me a diver for life!

Vijf prachtige duiken

Gerard, het was een feest, hier bij jou te zijn en met jou een tweedaagse te mogen duiken!

Eerst gaven jij en Vicky ons al enkele erg goede reistips per e-mail door, en eenmaal gearriveerd bleek niets jou te dol om het je duikgasten naar de zin te maken: een prima uitrusting, uitstekend eten en drinken en comfortabel slapen op je goed uitgeruste duikschip tijdens de ‘overnachter’.

Ik heb al op erg veel plaatsen gedoken, maar dit was klasse.

Een hoogtepunt tijdens deze ontspannen duiken? De nachtduik in de zandbaai: onvergetelijk! Of nee, net zo onvergetelijk als die grote vissen om ons heen bij de volgende twee duiken:
te gek, àl die Cobia’s!
Zicht? Zeker zo’n 20 à 25 meter!

Voor mij waren het allemaal heel ontspannen ‘fundives’, maar ik zag ook hoe serieus en toch vol humor jullie les gaven, met uitzonderlijk veel persoonlijke aandacht. Zo moet het en zo kan dat dus!

“ScubaNation”, dank je wel!

Thank you Scuba Nation! I’ve wanted to be certified and learn for years- this was awesome! Great instruction at my own pace and then excellent open water diving. Best boat around and lovely trip with crystal blue waters, electric coral, bright fish and more.
GREAT FUN!

Tiffany

Thank you Scuba Nation
The trip and your care were beautiful. I often enjoy taking the time to point out little details that can be improved when I feel the experience was nice enough to warrant it. In this case I can say you did your home work, everything was thought out and went without a glitch. Congratulations to your team and yourself for such a great outing.

Dove here two years ago. I thought well enough of the company and enjoyed the diving enough that I’m back again. Did my advanced course this time. The boat was great, the staff was professional and helpful, the boat crew performed admirably and the food was plentiful and yummy. I was lucky enough to get 20m visibility this time out and would recommend this dive shop to anyone. Thank you for the memories!

Dale Smith – another bloody Canuck

Excellent instruction, great diving. Your boat and equipment is the best in town (and I used the competition so I know!)

Glyn Carre

Had a brilliant time! Thanks Gerard and crew for a very enjoyable trip, as well as very professional and knowledgeable tuition which has enabled me to receive my PADI Open Water Diver qualification. Scuba Nation provided a relaxed and safe environment for my training and when times did prove a little stressful the team provided excellent support; this allowed me to complete my training confidently & enjoyable, an achievement I did not previously think possible.
Again, Thank you and I hope to dive with you all in the future!

Sincerely, Sherryn Gavaglia

Open Water Diver qualification. A very well planned course, all great.
Dive sites were great, boat was lovely. Good bunch of people – highly recommended.

Richard Ratthidge

Thank you for the very friendly and professional service on the overnight trip. The food was delicious, it was fantastic to sleep on the boat directly under the sky -comfy mattresses, pillows, blankets. Very friendly staff! Will recommend this dive school!

Conny & Uli

We had a very good trip (overnight) where we completed the open water Course! Instructor was great and made us feel comfortable in the water! We can highly recommend this company.

Sune & Nina

Advanced Open Water- great time on the liveaboard, everyone very friendly. Course very well carried out – safety first! Thanks very much.

Jim Newby

Unbelievable visibility, wonderful dive sites, responsible staff, excellent boat and 100% problem free equipment. Certainly exceeded expectations!

Andrew Skalet

A good trip for a non-diver. Snorkelling was excellent. A very friendly and professional outfit.

Paula & John Howard

We did a really nice overnight trip with 5 dives at Koh Tang! Great crew, great dives – very good visibility & an exciting night dive – the boat is cool – worth the money!

Maja & Karsten

Danke fur den schonen Tag, die beiden tauchen waren sehr schon. Unser Guide hat alles erklart so war es kein problem, dass wir schon 6 Jahre nicht mehr getaucht sind.

Main und Stephan

Overnight trip – excellent trip with top ray spotting – never seen so many in one place. The new boat will be a treat for customers but we were lucky enough to have it to ourselves. Cheers everyone at Scuba Nation.

Richard & Yuki

The small set-up makes for a really exclusive feel especially when you are the only people on a night dive on an island 5 hours off the coast. Great staff, great diving.

Nathan

Net als 3 jaar geleden weer met Gerard gedoken eerst in Malaysia en nu in Cambodia met Scuba Nation en het was net zo geweldig. Hele leuke dag gehad en 2 mooie duiken. Als we weer terug komen gaan we zeker weer mee.

Marleen en Jolienke

Thanks to Russ & Scuba Nation for the great trip. It is so lovely to be the only divers on the reef. Great vis, diverse hard & soft corals, friendly & helpful staff.

Angharod

Thanks to Scuba Nation for the (I must say) unexpectedly good dives off Koh Tang, and the all-round great service & instruction. Really A+ job y’all.

Joe Brown

Great overnight trip. Night dive was brilliant, as was last dive on Koh Tang. Definitely worth it.

Rob

I’m quite impressed with the professional manner of the staff at Scuba Nation. They where very helpful and provided good advice. The instructor was great and made me feel very comfortable and relaxed as it was my first dive after getting certified. I had a great day and enjoyed the 2 dives. Thanks.

Kim Bradley

Had a brilliant time! Thanks very much. The diving was very good and the boat and service was fantastic, very well organized. I felt very well looked after.

Monica Zavole

Thanks for a great overnight trip. My expectations of diving in Cambodia was definitely exceeded – particularly Koh Tang. I may be back…..!

Nathalie Neumann

First time back in the water for nearly 10 months and could not have asked for more! Professional staff, very helpful and knowledgeable. The diving was much better than anticipated.

Mark Tarrant

Vis was much better then last Khmer new year. I will come back same time next year.
