Back Door offers a gentle introduction to diving in Koh Rong, typically a calm, shallow spot around 12m. We’ve often found schooling fusiliers here, along with the occasional cuttlefish hiding amongst the soft coral patches. It’s a good site for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed second dive. Visibility can vary, but it’s generally a pleasant, easy drift.
