Discover the beauty of the Mergui Archipelago

aboard MV Dolphin Queen ( Charter available)

Not many places offer such a true feeling of adventure. Days of diving on sites with no other divers or boats to be seen.

Incredible amounts of colourful soft corals, amazing lagoons and caves and swim-throughs that are home to sharks and giant rays, incredible macro life unlike anywhere west of Indonesia.

Untouched islands with equally untouched beaches and the opportunity to explore and find new dive sites that no one has ever dived. This is why we go to Myanmar (Burma).

Coral in Myanmar
Crayfish cave - Myanmar


Vibrant soft corals blanket the limestone rocks in a dazzling display of colors. Towering gorgonian sea fans sway gently, forming underwater forests alive with colorful reef fish. Crustaceans scurry through cracks and crevices, moray eels lie hidden, while scorpion fish and octopus blend seamlessly into the purple and violet hues of the algae-covered rocks.

For those with a keen eye, seahorses, ornate ghost pipefish, frogfish and stonefish are common on many sites. Schooling fish dart here and there, harried by patrolling barracudas, rainbow runners, tuna, trevallies and Spanish mackerels, while large stingrays and occasionally sharks can be seen cruising the deeper waters.
