So, what can be done in Sihanville.
Sailing and Camping on Islands
A number of islands that are 3-10 kilometers from Sihanoukville are excellent seats for recreation and water sports. Before them can be reached by boating or catamaran. I mean sailing catamaran. I mean, catamaran with a stretched "floor" (on which you can sit and sit, and where you can add things) and the sail.
This is a very popular type of entertainment and sports here. These catamarans can be rented in the "Club Nautique" on OTRES 2 (at the far end of Otres, after a long and not very crowded area of the beach). These catamarans can be for three people (for $ 30 for half a day) and six people (for $ 75 per afternoon). But practice shows that half the day is too small, so you can take at least a day, and even better - for a year and a half (for $ 90, with a discount) - you should have enough time to enjoy your stay on the beautiful islands. In addition, you can rent catamaran for 3-4 days, and twist from the island to the island.
The conditions for this sailing is changing day by day, depending on the winds and the sea, of course. That is, if the path to the island was calm and pleasant, then back, it is likely that you will experience some problems. Check the weather forecast for the way to avoid any unpleasant surprises. The ride from Otres 2 to the islands can take from two to five hours, depending on the weather.
When you admire the beach slowly leaving the field of view, you can notice a giant jellyfish drifting by waves, or a whole brood of bright fish at the surface of the water.
In general, it is not boring at all. Only if you do not have a seaside disease, of course (although in this case, also mischievously, hehe). It is best to go after dinner, when the sun is not so scorching, but you need to manage to get up quickly to break the camp, before sunset. If you are heading towards the island of Kursy, then you should break the camp on the northern or western side of the island, as there is more windy, and therefore less than annoying mosquitoes. So, you can quietly admire the beautiful sunset in the hammock. If that, smoke from the fire should keep mosquitoes at a distance. Morning can be started with snorkeling on shallow reefs near the shore - such a kayf is to be put into many multi-colored fish.
If you do not want to cook breakfast, go to one of the restaurants on the island. What to take with you in such a mini-trip? Minimum: a hammock with a mosquito net, two coal bags, a means of mosquitoes, food products (noodles, vegetables and canned food is sufficient), a bowler, a firewood ax, fresh water (this is necessary), tanning cream, hat, knife , waterproof bag. That is, the tent is not necessary, as you can see. In our area, such "Moulet will not pay", as my girlfriend would say. If you want something more, take the fishing rod, music, alcohol. A mask with a tube is mandatory.
Record the company's phone number in case you are stuck. For rent you will need only a passport. And do not forget the rental employee to explain how this boat works. And last: make such a trip in a quiet day and not during the rainy season, when the weather can quickly change. Also be careful, mooring on the island - be sure to choose the sandy shore, because on the rocky beach you risk damaging the boat.
Diving
I know at least five diving centers, where you can take training and get a diving certificate.
SCUBA NATION offers PADI and National Geographic Diver courses, which include equipment rental, food and accommodation. They also offer advanced training courses, instructor training courses and cheerful dives. Training takes place in the pool, so this is a good choice for especially nervous newcomers. Most of their dives occur on Islands to Tang and Koh Rong Self. Site: www.divecambodia.com.
The Dive Shop offers Padi and National Geographic Diver courses, as well as many specialized courses. Most of the dives occurs at the island of Koh Rong. There you can rent housing for $ 3-5 per night. They also organize multi-day trips to Tang. Site: www.diveshopcambodia.com.
Eco SEA - Padi and SSI courses. If you do not have a lot of money, select SSIs, which are cheaper than PADI. (Padi and SSI -Tve largest diving associations in the world, by the way). Dive usually pass off the coast to Rong Silver, where future divers can rent bungalows or hammocks. Site: www.ecoseadive.com.
"Adventure Diving Wit Claude" founded Claude Czez, one of the most respected serious divers. He offers diving off the coast of seven Cambodian islands. Site: www.claudcambodge.com.
"Angkor Dive Cambodia" is based on the island of Rong Self and offers Padi courses and simple dives. These courses make an emphasis on environmental responsibility and environmental protection than different from their competitors. The club has a contract with M'Pay Bay Bungalows on the island, there that you can organize accommodation. Plus a variety of special offers - in general, a rather attractive option.
