Thailand and Burma: Richelieu and Mergui
1 / 1
An extended cross-border route combining Richelieu Rock in Thai waters with the Mergui Archipelago in Myanmar. The yacht departs from Thailand, passes the legendary Richelieu pinnacle, and continues to the uninhabited islands of the Burmese archipelago.
Richelieu Rock — a horseshoe-shaped pinnacle with purple soft corals, macro life, and whale sharks. Then the route enters the Mergui: Black Rock and Tower Rock with sharks and strong currents, North Twin Island and Great Swinton with gorgonians, Western Rocky with passages and cavern dives, Shark Cave and Burma Banks. Seafan Forest and Cavern Island conclude the route with fields of soft corals. Visibility varies from 10 to 30 meters, depths reach 45–60 meters. Currents are often strong — the route is designed for intermediate and advanced divers.
