About Coral Garden
Coral Garden is a shallow boat-access reef near M’Pai Bay in Cambodia, where hard and soft corals, sponges and whip corals sit in a compact, easy-to-read layout. The dive is more about moving slowly across coral heads and sand pockets than chasing one large feature, so patient buoyancy pays off. It suits calm conditions and local boat support, because the site is built for a relaxed, close-up search. Expect pipefish, clownfish, parrotfish, groupers and stingrays among the corals.
