Cave Hunting in the Kirirom National Park

Still we are looking out for new sites to dive at. Years ago we have already been searching for diveable caves around Kep and Kampot, now again we have got a hint for a cave filled with clear water located in the Kirirom National Park. A video clip found on youtube of some dirtbikers showed a cave with clear water and catfish living inside.

This called for another expedition! We organized two taxis, prepared plenty of dive gear and off to Kirirom we went. The first day of hiking through the local pine forests did not bring us to interesting dive sites. The second day was kind of a success as we have found the cave from the video, sadly it was just a small creek inside and no hole deep enough to dive.

Still, we have had a good trip and a lot of fun!

On our last day the locals showed us another lake which apparently has holy crocodiles living in it. To at least empty two of our tanks we did a quite nice dive in a small river where we found almost 6 meters depth as well as two sunken boats and a lot of freshwater fish.
