Koh Rong is a tropical island off the coast of Sihanoukville, Cambodia with inner jungle, a mountain and beautiful white sandy beaches. I took the bus from Kampot to Sihnoukville, it lunged wildly from side to side on the potholled road, sometimes just mud shaped by the last monsoon.
The Ferry from there will take you to Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samaleon, lesser known is it has more than one stop at each Island.
Like the 1970's there's no ATM so you need cash on the island for food, accomodation and diving so quite a lot then. It is possible to get "Cash Out" where you see the sign (sometimes cardboard). These shops or guesthouses will do Visa card to cash for a percentage fee to the marooned.
Koh Touch, Koh Rong

Diving
Koh Rong is in the Gulf of Thailand the water is 30C in December according to my dive computer. Diving's by hardboat to nearby sites, Khmer Garden ..... nothing exceeds 15 metres it's all about enjoying the unspoilt coral reefs, puffer, boxfish and cuttlefish. I was interested in the cuttlefish as they demonstrated curious behaviour. Two dives in the morning.
