Arrived in Sihanoukville and walked into The Dive Shop. Signed up for their open water course, which is given over 3 days. Day 1 is in the classroom, day 2 and 3 are in the water on Koh Rong. We had lots of rain overnight; poor visibility and lots of current during the dives, but the experience was wonderful and... More

I've been diving with the Dive Shop to do my Advanced Open Water. I basically looked at all the dive centers in Sihanoukville and the Dive Shop was the only one which seemed friendly and professional at the same time. Their staff are excellent in terms of maturity, professionalism and a sense of fun, that is very important especially for... More

I went to Sihanoukville just to diving and at the Dive Shop I found what I was looking for, a nice and relaxed environment. The instructors are all really available and professional, the equipment is ok and the service in general is really good. I was lucky because when we dived there was a good visibility and we had a...

Myself and my boyfriend did a day's fun diving on Koh Rong, and the 3 day/2night liveaboard at Koh Prins and Koh Tang. We were overall we were very impressed with The Dive Shop. The Diving: We knew not to expect big fish diving off Cambodia and we didn't see any (apart from an abnormally large puffer). However there were... More

Everyone I met at the shop was switched on and had a good attitude to the job. I did two fun dives on Koh Rong with Georgio, who was very professional and made sure we had a real good time. The diving was good and at $65 all in, it is a very good price. I will definitely dive with... More

Went on a day trip with two guided dives. Organisation was great, and the price was very reasonable. The dive sites were very disappointing - I saw virtually nothing of note. The second site, in particular, was a waste of a dive: sparsely scattered corals in sand with enough current to stir up the sand and make visibility rubbish. Equipment... More

I did the 3 day Open Water student course and LOVED IT! The first day i had a wonderful passionate instructor named Babs, who taught me the theory side of things, and helped me understand everything you must know about diving. Thank you Babs for helping me with the theory, because of you-I actually did it! The second and third... More

We went out on the Dive Shop's boat to the island of Koh Rong Samolen. It was amazing! We went more for the sightseeing than the diving since my friend isn't certified who I was with, but it was definitely still worth the experience for sure! The island itself is absolutely beautiful and clearly is not a high traffic place.... More

I didn't get as far as going diving with this outfit as it became apparent early on that they did not know their stuff. I went to the shop to ask for information on the local dive sites and was told by a very rude member of staff to look it up on the internet. I asked him if he... More
