Exploration Trip to the Depond Reef

We are proud to announce that we have sucessfully run the first dive expedition to explore the Depond Reef, a small pinnacle near the outermost Cambodian island, Koh Pulau Weh, almost 100 km off Sihanoukville.

The trip was the last liveaboard trip before the vessel is rebuilt and upgraded for the upcoming high season. We have been very lucky with the weather conditions during the last couple of days and the trip was very pleasant.

The pinnacle is marked in every proper sea chart but during the last two years we did not find time, the weather was too rough or we have just been too busy diving to investigate it!

Caio, who has signed in for the PADI Drift Diver Specialty course, had the honor of joining the trip with the base leader Aaron and the owner Dennis.

Research on the internet before the trip did not give us very much information about the dive site or if anybody ever tried to scuba dive at the Depond Reef.

We are very pleased with this trip as it is the culmination of many years spent exploring the Cambodian waters, where we have investigated from Koh Kong, near the Thai boarder to Ream National Park, near the Vietnamese boarder. With our local knowledge, our fantastic fleet and our experienced adventurers we are the best qualified Dive Center to successfully explore this region.
