Mergui Archipelago

A dive safari through the Mergui Archipelago — 800 virtually unexplored islands off the coast of Myanmar, opened for diving in 1997. The route starts and finishes at Badin Pier in Thailand’s Ranong. Rocky islands covered in tropical forests may be home to wild elephants and tigers.

Key dive sites include Western Rocky Island with its underwater channels, Black Rock, North Twin Island, Shark Cave, Seafan Forest, and High Rock. Depths at some sites exceed 60 meters, currents are strong. Underwater encounters include whale sharks, mantas, and diverse reef and pelagic fish.
