Additional Information
Mainland Sihanoukville is teeming with insane amounts of single use plastic waste, as the wind sometimes come directly from mainland it transports the plastic in the direction of the island only for it to end up at most of our dive sites and along the beaches of both sides of the island, also people seem to be unaware of the dangers of not deposing of plastic properly so they just drop it in to the ocean
