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.
