Diver's Notes

Water in Cambodia have very poor visibility. It's like snowing in here !

Descent was without a line or visual reference. I stressed up, and felt my regulator wasn't working properly. I signaled the DM i had trouble with breathing, try also the alternate air source...but it was only me breathing too strongly from stress. I calmed down and ended up breathing normaly. the rest of the dive occurs normaly.

This dive spot is said to be the best one around Koh Rong. It was indeed quite alive.
Unfortunatly we could find platic bags and empty beer cans on the bottom.
