Unspoiled Island Day Trip

Finding a clean and unspoiled beach apart from private Sokha Beach is challenging in Sihanoukville but can be found a couple of hours away on the island Koh Rong Saloem. Daily ferries can take you there in the morning or a one-day trips including snorkeling, fishing, lunch and light breakfast can be booked at (http://www.suntours-cambo...). This particular company takes its passengers to a deserted 5km strip of pristine beach. It's run by a very fun and entertaining German man called Robert. There is also accommodation on the island at Lazy Beach. EcoSea diving (http://www.ecoseadive.com...) offer overnight trips to Koh Rung Sanloem as well, where accommodation is in small basic cottages. Price is 15 USD / Night 2011. Unfortunately there are a lot of sand flies on the island so expect to be bitten.

Snorkeling

Possible around most of the islands, with the best snorkeling being at the further our islands for visibility, corals and fish. Many restaurants at Serendipity Beach advertise a snorkeling trip for US$15, but most are incapable of properly explaining what their offer includes. Most will boil down to the same trip organised by one of the travel agents which includes simple breakfast at the beach, a visit to two snorkeling spots and a 3 hour lunchbreak at Koh Russei Bamboo Island. If you are serious about your snorkeling, you should consider going with one of the three scuba dive shops, to ensure you get proper gear.

The Cambodian Children's Painting Project

ccpp (http://www.letuscreate.org). this is located on serendipity beach rd. ccpp is a ngo which works with impoverished cambodian children. together with volunteers the children create art which is then sold to help support the children's families and the project itself. as part of the project children are provided with access to education, painting materials, sport activities, two meals a day, medical assistance and dental assistance. social workers are employed to work with the children's families. you can help by becoming a volunteer, donating painting materials, buying a painting, donating money or by holding an exhibition of the children's art.

Scuba Diving

There are many islands off the Cambodian coast that have lots of coral and fish. All the dive boats in Cambodia leave from the Sihanoukville port area. There are 4 PADI Dive Centres, one of which,Scuba Nation PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Centre (http://www.divecambodia.c...) pioneers of diving in Cambodia, providing comprehensive diving and snorkeling services, day trips, live-aboards, nitrox and a full range of PADI courses from beginner to PADI instructor. Flexibility is the key: you can do training sessions while ding sight-seeing in Phnom Penh, then finish with a live aboard on the only custom made diving boats in Cambodia. EcoSea Dive (http://www.ecoseadive.com/), offers SSI courses as well. The largest and newest dive center, Island Divers (http://www.islandscubadiv...) offers the biggest boat newly refitted to cater just for divers. Angkor Dive (http://www.angkorscubadiv...) also based on Koh Rong Samloem who offer over night trips to the island to not only dive, but also to experience the traditional way of life in a Khmer fishing village. The main scuba diving area is at Koh Rong Samloem Island located 14 miles offshore, as well as at Koh Tang Island 35 miles from Sihanoukville. Overnight trips are necessary in order to reach Koh Tang. There is also some shallow diving at Koh Tas some 6 miles from Sihanoukville, but it's mostly reserved for when the weather is too rough to get all the way to Koh Rung Sanloem. The best diving Cambodia has to offer is the overnight trips to the Koh Tang Group, where large pelagic are seen regularly and visibility is double what you will find at the closer sites.
