Myanmar / Burma - Scuba Diving Liveaboard / Dive Site
Myanmar (Burma) – The Mergui (Myeik) Archipelago
The
Mergui Archipelago in Myanmar (Burma) is a goldmine for
macro underwater photographers who can enjoy capturing on
film tiny critters such as gobies, shrimps, nudibranches etc
onboard of our liveaboard vessel MV Nautica.
Extensive coral reefs around the islands are home to an abundance of marine fauna and flora. The symbiosis of an almost endless variety of hard and soft corals, with an even bigger variety of fish and many kind of other marine life, is still in its natural balance and remains mostly undisturbed.
This healthy environment attracts predators such as Barracudas, Sharks as Black and White Tips who regularly come in to feast on the smaller species. The frequent sightings of Wale Sharks, Manta Rays and Dolphins makes our Mergui expeditions even more exciting. Uninhabited islands, white sandy beaches, and the mystical jungle of the Mergui Archipelago are all waiting to be explored – by you!
South
Twin Island / Myanmar - Burma
The bay of South Twin Island has three different dive sites with a depth around 16m. Big boulders covered with Staghorn and other types of hard corals provide shelter for a variety of small marine life. Outside the bay you can see schools of barracuda, jacks and tunas.
North Twin Island / Myanmar - Burma
The great plateau of North Twin Island starts at a depth
of 20m and is covered with colourful gorgonian sea fans.
Occasionally, curious white-tip sharks and barracuda
accompany you on your dive in this amazing underwater
landscape.
Western
Rocky / Myanmar - Burma
A great sightseeing point for divers is the reef at Western Rocky, which starts at 20m and descends down to 40m. Observe the triggerfish playing cat and mouse amongst the bizarre rock formations, which are typical of this area.
