Scuba Nation Cambodia - PADI Diving and Instruction in the Gulf of Thailand (Sihanoukville and Phnom Penh)
Routes to get to Sihanouville from Laos, Vietnam, Thailand and from within Cambodia

Cambodian visas available at the border. This Mekong River border crossing is near the Vietnamese city of Chau Doc. In Ho Chi Minh City, travel agents can make transport arrangements to Chau Doc where you will boat up to the border, enter Cambodia and change to a speed boat that goes from there to Neak Luong. At Neak Luong, disembark and take a taxi on Route #1 to Phnom Penh( shared taxi: 10,000 riel). Allow about 5 hours for the trip from Chau Doc to PP.

If you'd prefer to buy a package ticket for the trip from Ho Chi Minh to PP instead of arranging all of the transport yourself, several travel agents now offer this option.

   
PADI Scuba Diving Tips of The Day » It may sound hippy hype, but you can enhance your buoyancy through visualization. Mentally rehearse the performance you want (ideally -gliding through the water stream-lined and horizontal and breathing with perfect buoyancy control!) then try to make your buoyancy on the real dive match the dive that you imagined. Multiple studies show that mental practice improves performance – give it a try (and you don’t have to let anyone know you’re doing it!).
