Myanmar Scuba Diving Holiday
Mergui Archipelago-Burma "M7 cruise"
6 Days diving/7 Nights on-board
US $ 1,450
(plus US$ 140 for Mergui
Archipelago entry/visa fee)
Pristine and stunningly beautiful, Myanmar’s Mergui archipelago in the Andaman sea (Burma),
has over eight hundred tropical islands covering an area of over ten thousand square miles.
It had been closed off to the outside world for over fifty years, until late 1996 when we at
SEAL were lucky enough to be the first diving company to be granted
a license to explore the Mergui Archipelago.
This truly is one of the very few remaining untouched areas on earth and an outstanding
location for live-aboard scuba diving holidays and sailing yacht charters.
 Due to its virtual isolation, the islands and surrounding seas are alive with an amazing
diversity of wildlife great and small, together with soft and hard corals and huge barrel
sponges. The ‘greats’ include various species of sharks, regular sightings of large numbers
of manta rays, giant groupers and other schooling fish, with occasional sightings of whale
sharks and bull sharks. Great macro life can be found. Sea horses, Ornate Ghost-pipe and
Stone-fish are amongst the archipelago’s rare inhabitants.Most of the islands are covered in rain forest, whilst the incredible Myanmar beaches are
devoid of humans; the only visitors are turtles and other, mostly nocturnal, wildlife.
There will be opportunities to go ashore on the islands to explore or, just relax on the
incredible Myanmar beaches, which are devoid of humans; the only visitors are turtles and
other, mostly nocturnal, wildlife. You won’t find a better evening barbecue setting!
Our “M7” diving cruise is on
s/y “Crescent”. She is a fully equipped live-aboard motor sailing yacht, sixty five foot in length, with accommodation for eight divers and a highly professional crew of five to ensure that our guests have the diving vacation of a life-time.
We look forward to welcoming you on-board!
