We also organise three different live-aboard trips to Myanmar (formaly known as Burma).
On these trips we brin you to Merqui Archipelagoand and Burma Banks. Divesites and the nature over here are outstanding. Myanmar’s untouched Archipelago was opened, to just a few diveboats, less than 10 years ago. If you hae not heard about Merqui Achipelago or Burma Banks, it’s because only the fortuned few have been there!

Burma is relatively new area for live-aboard dive trips. Since so few operators are allowed in the area, new divesites are found and cognitions are made frequently, which motivates us to continue looking for all things new and unseen! Underwater world is full and busyy with a big variaty of different reef fishes, barracudas, jackfishes and giant trevallies. Some divesites further from the mainland create a possibility to see whalesharks and mantarays, whereas more sheltered divesites can be crowded by nudibranches, seahorses and other small creatures to practice your underwater cameraskills. After lunch it might be time to get back to watching different species of sharks hunting in big schools of fishes. Enormous contrasts between divesites within such a small geological area lead Burmam to being undoubtedly one of the world’s most interesting places for diving. Visitors preferring to stay on the surface can enjoy variety of perfect, untouched beaches.

For those of you who don’t (yet) dive, a trip to Burmaoffers several other activities which don’t interfere with diver’s schedules. Paddling is one the vest ways to explore shores and caves or those hundreds of islands.You can find a privat, isolated beach for pure relaxing or climb to the top of high lava stone (maybe limestone?) walls to admire the view, or hike deep into the unexplored jugles to survey the unique flora and fauna of Burma. Who knows, while hiking you might even face a wild elephant or tiger which are said to be extinct from most areas.

Due to occasionally strong currents (especially at full and new moon) majority of divesites in Burma require experience from divers. If you are uncertain about your diving skills of uncomfortable with currents, plan your trip considering this. On the other hand, with currents you get the best chance to see big things!

Burmese government charges an entry fee from all those who enter Merqui archipelago. The complete fee is $ 150 US, and it can be payed at the Burmese borderline. You will also need 3 passport photos and 3 copies of your passport. Visa is admitted at the borderline and it is valid for 28 days for most nationalities.In any case you will leave and enter Thailand, so be sure that your visa for Thailand is suitable for that. During your stay in Burma the Burmese government will hold your passport. We are aware of this uncomfortable procedure and apologize for it.
