Koh Tang Khmer New Year
|
Tuesday, April 15, 2008
|
On the 13th April we went to Koh Tang for our traditional Khmer New Year overnight trip.
A
big welcome back to Hiko and Takeshi our regulars who are always a
pleasure to dive with, and our own PADI Divemaster Mike. Sorry rest
of the world you can now only get "The Mike" experience with Scuba
Nation Cambodia.
We set off at 7.30 and after the boat briefing,
breakfast was served, we did our first dive at Cobia point on Koh Rong
Samloem, we dived in 4 groups off our two boats.
Our group started
the dive a little bit differently and we discovered a whole new part
at Cobia, which we had not dived before.Very nice hard and soft corals
and many Nudibranches, the vis was between 7 to 10 mtr, it was a great
dive.
After an hour we surfaced and got back on the boat and had lunch as we headed to Koh Tang.
Our
second dive was at The Steps and the vis was 15mtr. The Steps is a
great dive site and suitable for everybody from snorkeller to
experienced diver. Very nice boulder corals and lots of reef fish.
The
night dive was at Beedy Eye Bay where you will have to look for all the
weird stuff which is there. We saw big Blue spotted Sting rays, Toad
fish, many shrimps and Moray Eels.
After a good night of sleep
we did our early morning dive at Giraffe, and the vis was 25+ and two
massive Cobia,s at the start off our drift dive.
Our last dive was on Explosion reef and it is always a pleasure to see the looks on divers faces when they arrive on the reef.
Explosion
is a very big spread out reef build up with table and stack corals,
boulder corals with Christmas Tree worms with different colours and
fish every where, I had divers saying to me before that this reef is
better then the great barrier reef.
Scuba Nation would like to thank all the people who where on the trip for a great time and we will see you all back soon.
