This dive site, Back Door, is located on the north-western side of Koh Rong Sanloem island, extending from Mpai Bay village. The area features a substantial reef system composed primarily of large boulders in its shallower sections. A notable feature is a cliff-like overhang where divers occasionally have the chance to observe Cobias and schooling Baraccudas. Due to the expansive nature of the reef, numerous dives can be undertaken while consistently discovering new areas to explore.
