Details Itinerary
Day 1
Fly for Kawthaung , meet at Kathaung Airport, continue to
the jetty to board a longtail boat for the Pakchan river
crossing to Kawthaung. Short sight seeing tour in this
interesting Burmese border trading town, formerly known as
Victoria Point, before boarding the yacht. Depart from
Kawthaung at approximately 17:00 hrs for the islands of the
Mergui Archipelago.
Day 2 - Western Rocky Islet
Proceed 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 as well as the resident Grey Reef,
Black Tip and White Tip sharks at this open ocean dive site.
Day 3 - Resort and 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.
Day 4 - North Twin
Early morning travel to North Twin Island - three dives
again. Optional night dive available
Day 5 - Black Rock - Three dives.
Overnight to Black Rock, the most Northern point on the
itinerary. This dive site consistently gives some of the
best diving to be found anywhere in the Andaman Sea. A truly
oceanic site, with no land in site. Big pelagics 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 and In Through-the-Outdoor
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. At the end of the
afternoon we sail back to Kawthaung.
Day 7
Fly back to Yangon.
