Koh Tang Island, is an
island approximately 43 km (27 miles)
southwest off the coast of Cambodia in the
Gulf of Thailand. The only inhabitants
on the island are
Cambodian military personnel.
Koh Tang today is one of the best scuba diving areas in
Cambodia with several Sihanoukville dive companies running
overnight trips out to this large uninhabited island group.
Large fish like cobias and sail fish as well as large
schools of jacks, snappers and fusiliers swim over the reef
in large numbers with coral colonies of “apcora” (a
commonly known variety being stag horn coral) The most famous dive site in Cambodia would be
Virgin Reef which has never been completely dived due to its
large size, is blessed with healthy fish stocks and some
amazing coral gardens stretching for hundreds of meters out
from the island
