Koh Tang today is largely forgotten as the last battleground of the Vietnam War. Located in the Gulf of Thailand it is thirty five miles from the port of Sihanoukville Cambodia. There are not any memorials here, when I heard the distinctive sound of a AK47 ripping through a clip poking holes in the sky fired in anger over a poker gamer, typically today you’ll nevertheless hear explosions, but they are connected a lot of to poverty than to war, because desperate men risk their lives in a very continuing battle to make money from a slowly decaying fishing ground that’s systematically being depleted by the Vietnamese and Thailand fishing fleets, illegally fishing in Cambodian water for squid and shrimp ordinarily. Thankfully the dynamite blasts are right down to a drip because the Cambodians are discouraging this at the upper levels and it is beginning to be very enforced.

The USA MIA teams are but looking for a helicopter lost and never recovered throughout the Mayaguez incident, however several here speculate that it had been found a long time ago, and like the other submerged wrecks in this part of South East Asia was salvaged for the metals that they’re composed of. The enduring helicopter of the Vietnam War nicknamed “Heuys” I’ve got been told are largely aluminum, magnesium and titanium that would bring a pleasing reward to the salvager.

Koh Tang these days is one in every of the simplest scuba diving areas in cambodia tours with several Sihanoukville dive corporations running overnight visits out to the present massive uninhabited island group. Massive fish go for cobias and sail fish with giant schools of jacks, snappers and fusiliers swim over the reef in large numbers since broken reef section are repaired by mother nature, with fresh coral colonies of “apcora” (a ordinarily known selection being stag horn coral) increasing at a rapid pace, and too the fish stocks displaced begin to recover. The diving is good, no crowds and several giant shallow sections, likewise as the deep reefs escaped injury, therefore there is extensive dive opportunities interspersed with the damaged coral beds. The foremost famous dive web site in Cambodia would be Virgin Reef which has never been utterly dived because of its massive dimensions, is blessed with healthy fish stocks and some wonderful coral gardens stretching for tons of meters out from the island.
