Little-known as a diving destination, Myanmar is quickly establishing a reputation as one of the top dive destinations in Southeast Asia. The Mergui Archipelago and the Burma Banks are a collection of more than 800 individual islands located in the Andaman Sea, belonging to Myanmar. Most of the islands and surrounding areas are completely uninhabited and remote. With a rich and diverse marine ecosystem untouched by tourism and left in isolation for many years it can offer some truly spectacular liveaboard diving.

Maps & Itinerary

Diving conditions in Myanmar can often be challenging, but rewarding. Due to their isolated and exposed location, there can be strong currents and reduced visibility due to an influx of nutrients at certain dive sites which may make the diving unsuitable for inexperienced divers or those who have not dived in similar conditions before.
