Burma Liveaboards - Diving in Burma:
7 diving days / 8 nights

South East Asia Liveaboards - scuba diving vacations in the Mergui archipelago. Dive Burma (Myanmar) - Andaman Sea. Outstanding diving and sailing around uninhabited tropical islands on our liveaboard cruising yacht Crescent. This beautiful and pristine archipelago has over 800 pristine islands including diving destination Burma Banks with coral reefs, and great diversity of marine life including large pelagics - shark diving, mantarays, whalesharks and giant groupers as well as macros.

South East Asia Liveaboards are the PIONEERS of diving adventure tours in the Mergui Archipelago. For over 50 years the beautiful Mergui Archipelago, comprising over 800 islands, has been locked away, and has remained pristine and untouched. This area offers pioneer diving as well as the dive sites which we have already found to be excellent.

Our first trip in February 1997 to the southern islands, gave our customers the rare privilege of seeing one of the world’s last unexplored archipelagos.

During our first few trips we were restricted to the southern islands. We were then granted an additional license to go further north for the M7 diving cruise and these started in October 1997.

The diving in Burma differs from Thailand. Burma is action-packed with large pelagic and schooling fish. Big sharks are abound - silvertip, black tip, gray reef sharks, hammerheads, whale sharks and the occasional bull shark. We have seen over 100 Manta Rays on one dive alone! Great macro life can be found. Sea horses, ornate ghost-pipe and stone fish are amongst the archipelago’s rare inhabitants. Huge barrel sponges, soft and hard corals abound.

Recently, our Burma adventure tours have been featured in the TV Series "Travel Asia and Beyond".
