Burma Kawthung
Port for departure and arrival of the Burma trips. A bustling little harbour with a special atmosphere. A beautiful temple and monastery on the hill can be visited.
Kawthung certainly has atmosphere. It seems a sort of mixture of a Colonial- and a Wild West place. You should see the market and try the Burmese beer and snacks. However charming Kawthung might be, quiet it is not. |
Diving Burma Mergui Archipelago
The Merqui Archipelago of over 900 islands, lying on Burmese territory. Very few are inhabited. The area was until a short while ago closed off for foreigners. It now is opened to a limited no of yachts. Nature is breathtaking and so far we have probably only scratched the surface of what this part of the world has to offer. |
Diving Burma Western Rocky island
Small towering rock plus several scattered pinnacles. The main rock has a tunnel right through the island ,entry at 28m (85 ft)exit at 16m ( 50ft).The tunnel is literally covered in crayfish and there are usually some large nurse sharks piled on top of each other. |
Diving Burma High Rock
Marine live thrives here, with dense growths of orange cup coral covering many of the deeper rocks and vertical walls. Below 21 m , huge green tubastrea coral and large black-coral bushes dominate the seascape , complemented by red harp gorgonians, pastel-green rope sponges and feather stars of most every colour.

Diving Burma North Twin and South Twin Islands
Those travelers who have already been on the Similan Islands in Thailand will be surprised by the resemblance. These islands are granite rocks rather than limestone, like most other islands. The resemblance continues under water, here we also find the big boulders, lots of staghorn coral ,rich soft coral as well and the fishlife is mainly reef fish. |
Diving Burma Black Rock
arguably the most spectacular dive site in the Archipelago. 16 miles from the nearest land in deep water it is an ocean site. There is an abundance of life with BIG pelagics being the order of the day. Grey reef and silvertip sharks are almost guaranteed, blacktips, hammerheads and bull sharks by no means exceptional. We have seen stingrays the size of barn doors, manta's, devil rays and also whale sharks. Additionally the reef life is excellent as well with beautiful soft corals, gorgonian's and plenty of reef fish. |
Diving Burma Horse shoe island
A lovely jungle-clad island with a spectacular anchorage. Towering cliffs and numerous caves are there to be explored |
Diving Burma Colona Rocks
tiny islet, one of three . The main dive is a small cove with a tunnel which exits on the other side of the island. The cove itself is usually crammed with snappers, groupers, jacks, trevallies etc. Silvertip sharks often join the fun. |
Diving Burma Great Swinton Island
Idyllic anchorage with a sparkling white beach . Rainforest in the background. Some rocky pinnacles 1/4 of a mile off provide good snorkeling and diving. You will find soft corals, reef fish, gorgonian's and the odd pelagic. We have seen iguana's here so large we first thought they were alligators. North side of the island has a large beach with a fresh water stream flowing in the sea. |
Diving Burma Little Torres
A small island surrounded by deep open water, this site has a good selection of reef fish and invertebrates , along with a chance of seeing sharks and other big animals. Keep an eye towards the open water in this area, as spinner, bull and grey reef sharks sometimes patrol just off the reef. |
:Diving Burma Peacock Island
Beautiful beach, the island is forested. South tip has a good dive site, a ridge at 12m. The continuous slight current encourages the growth of soft corals which are abundant. Many reef fish, notably snappers, jacks and also smaller stuff. |
Diving Burma Rocky Island North
Bare limestone pinnacle. One side has a wall to 45 m. Abundant soft coral. Reef life very prolific, if not in size than certainly in quantity. West side is shallower, but has large gorgonian's |
Diving Burma Stewart Island
consists of a 200m long ridge, lies North to South, rises to about 30m (100ft) above the surface. One huge arch cuts right through the island above the surface, several smaller caves do the same below water. Best diving 12-20m, prolific reef life, soft corals, sea whips many small sharks. |
Diving Burma Cavern island
Spectacular scenery topside, a nice dive consisting of 5 pinnacles on the SW side.onsisting of gigantic rocks piled on top of each other. At 10-15 m depth there is a large anemone garden |
Diving Burma North Rock
Fabulous critter dive, lots of small reef life, nudibranches etc. Plateau at 18 m. Sandy bottom at 30 m, good for leopard sharks. |
