Do you seriously want to put your life in danger? There is a place in Sihanoukville called Dive Nation (or something similar) which is PADI certified. They've got an office in Phnom Penh too which is where I first came across them. They'll take you out into the Gulf of Thailand and around some of the Cambodian/ Thai islands,. Just be sure to check the regulator, BCD, tank air quality and other gear thoroughly first.
There are also a number of backyard operators that you find around some of the more popular coastal tourist areas but my advice would be not to touch them with a barge pole :) about 8 years ago -
I agree with Simon - it's really important to go diving with experienced instructors and with good quality, regularly maintained equipment! about 8 years ago
