Myanmar / Burma - Scuba Diving Liveaboard
Finally,
the Burmese authorities have lifted restrictions and opened
up this amazing archipelago to foreigners. The Mergui
Archipelago in Myanamr / Burma contains more than 800
islands and stretches over 10,000 square miles.
In times when remote-controlled robots are exploring planet Mars, it almost sounds like a fairy tale: the Mergui Archipelago remains one of the world's last areas never before visited by divers. The port of Mergui was the main gate to the Gulf of Siam in the 17th century and acts of piracy were rampant, as all passing traders had to come into the port.
Mergui Archipelago seems to have by-passed our computerized civilisation without notice and still contains the spirit of the old days. The area is a goldmine for macro underwater photographers who can enjoy capturing on film tiny critters such as gobies, shrimps, nudibranches etc.
Underwater Photographers and videographers alike are able to find an endless variety of coral with many different kinds of marine life, including regular sightings of ‘the bigger fish’. Uninhabited islands, white sandy beaches, and the mystical jungle of the Mergui Archipelago are all waiting to be explored onboard of our liveaboard vessel MV Nautica – by you!
