Diving Tour Program

ATT-DIV-001 Mergui Archipelago

6 Days / 7 Nights in Myanmar

KAWTHAUNG - MERGUI - KAWTHAUNG

 

Day 1. KAWTHAUNG

Met on arrival at Kawthaung Airport or Ranong. Road transfer to Yangon Immigration for Thai check-out, then continue to the jetty to board a long tail boat for the Packman river crossing to Kawthaung.

Short sight seeing tour in this interesting Burmese border trading town, formerly known as Victoria Point, before boarding the boat. Depart from Kawthaung at approximately 17.00 hours for the islands of the Mergui Archipelago.

Day 2. ROCKY ISLET (WESTERN)

Proceed Stay overnight to Western Rocky, three great dives here. Highlights of the dive site being a big cave filled with fifty or more lobsters and thousands of Glassfish. Good chance to see Manta-rays and Whale-sharks as well as the resident Grey Reef, Black Tip and White Tip sharks at this open ocean dive site. (Dive Sites: Western Rocky, Mojo’s Pinnacle,
North Point Pinnacle)

Day 3. SOUTH TWIN

Three dives, plus optional night dive. Great macro life makes these sites a ‘must see’ on any diver’s checklist. Commonly seen are Sea Horses, Ornate Ghost-Pipe fish, Frog Fish, Stonefish, Turtles, Rays, Sea Snakes, Cuttlefish and much more. (Dive Sites: In-the-Middle Move to South Twin, Barracuda Point, Joel’s Point and night dive at South point)

Day 4. NORTH TWIN

Early morning travel to North Twin - three dives again. A night dive is available as additional dive. (Dive Sites: Twin Cheeks, White Men Walk home and Franken Reef)

Day 5. BLACK ROCK

Stay overnight to Black Rock, the most northern point on the itinerary. This dive site consistently provides some of the best diving to be found anywhere in the Andaman Sea. A truly oceanic site with no land in sight. Big pelagic are common, Manta-rays, Whale-sharks, plus lots of other different types of sharks and rays can all be seen here. Also, you can expect to see schools of Jacks and Tuna. If this isn’t enough the macro life is also first-class but expect to spend your time looking away from the reef at the bigger stuff out in the blue.

Day 6. NINE PINS ROCK

Considered by virtually all of our guests to be the best dive of the trip, the highlight of ‘In Through-the-Outdoor’ being, the big ‘swim-through’, which is home to Grey Reef sharks.
Inside the cave also lives a family of Nurse sharks, one of which is about four meters long. A very healthy coral reef, inhabited by a profusion of fish life is another bonus. Sea Horses are common here. (Dive Sites: Nine Pins Rock and in through-the-Outdoor)

Day 7. KAWTHAUNG

Disembark Kawthaung, local transfer to Kawthaung or Yangon Airport.
