The Sun is a really nice motoryarch and if my memory serves me well it took the owner Robert Duczek around 3 years to build it ... http://www.diveblogging.com/2010/03/01/boat-trip-with-the-motoryacht-the-sun/ 10.4662056 103.4033203 Wow, I just found the website for Jules Underwater Lodge and is that a special Hotel or what? Jules Underwater Lodge is a authentic underwater research habitat made into a small Underwater Lodge/hotel. I find it pretty cool and would definately check it out when I'm close to Key Lago! http://www.diveblogging.com/2010/02/11/staying-at-jules-underwater-lodge/ Middle of October turned out not to be right for diving, but that didn’t stop my wife and I from getting out into the nice water around Sihanoukville, so we decided to take a full day snorkelling with the beautiful motoryacht Sun. The Sun is a really nice and beautiful ... http://www.diveblogging.com/2010/02/09/snorkling-sihanoukville-cambodia/ 10.6120186 103.4227142 I can highly recommend always to include the Straits of Tiran in a divetrip to Sharm el Sheikh. The Straits of Tiran is full of corals, fishes and turtles - and at the right time whale sharks, sharks and manta rays. At a trip to Gordon Reef at the Straits of ... http://www.diveblogging.com/2010/01/07/sea-turtle-at-gordon-reef-tiran/ 27.9762115 34.4874573 Before the wedding in end September and the Honeymoon/divetrip to Cambodia I thought it was about time to upgrade my photo equipment a bit. Since 2003 I have been ok with my Sony DSC and waterproof case, but I must admit it was rather slow and getting too old, but ... http://www.diveblogging.com/2009/12/22/now-diving-with-canon-ixus-110is-and-waterproof-case-wp-dc32/ 10.5890713 103.3140564 Yeah, unfortunately my trip to Cambodia and Sihanoukville didn't bring me any new diving experiences. Not because I didn't want to dive, not because I didn't have the time to dive (we we're there for 10 days) and not because Sihanoukville didn't have some good and experienced dive centers, but ... http://www.diveblogging.com/2009/12/09/no-diving-in-sihanoukville-cambodia/ 10.6187677 103.4932709 Leaving today for Thailand and then some diving around Sihanoukville Cambodia - of course the time in Cambodia also means Angkor Wat and Phnom Penh, but we have "allocated" something like 8-10 days for Sihanoukville if the weather and diving is nice.... More to come later! http://www.diveblogging.com/2009/10/13/off-for-thailand-and-diving-in-cambodia/ 10.6113443 103.5001373 Koh Chang isn't really famous for diving or snorkeling and it is certainly possible to find better place in Thailand for that, but but Koh Chang is just such a charming island without too much of the fuss and noise you'll find at the bigger tourist destinations in Thailand - ... http://www.diveblogging.com/2009/09/15/snorkeling-at-koh-chang/ 12.0404119 102.2792816 I have now been doing a bit of reseach on diving Cambodia and I have "only" found diving operations in the beautiful beach city Sihanoukville - all diving in Cambodia seems to start at Sihanoukville. In Sihanoukville there are 4 diving centers: Scuba Nation Diving Center At Serendipity Beach Scuba Nation offers PADI Open ... http://www.diveblogging.com/2009/08/25/diving-cambodia-means-sihanoukville/ 10.6043415 103.5221100 Heading for Cambodia in October and I'm sure there's going to be some diving included in the trip, as always... Cambodia is not know for being a big diving country and the diving should be pretty underdeveloped, which in fact could be interesting - I'm sure there will be no queuing ... http://www.diveblogging.com/2009/07/11/diving-cambodia-in-october/ 10.3797655 103.5021973
