Western Rocky Islet
Three great dives here. Highlights of the dive site being a big cave
filled with fifty or more lobsters and thousands of Glassfish. Good chance
to see Manta-rays and Whale-sharks as well as the resident Grey Reef,
Black Tip and White Tip sharks at this open ocean dive site. |
|

|
Stewart Island, Cavern Island and High Rock
Three dives, plus optional night dive. Great macro life makes these sites
a ‘must see’ on any diver’s checklist. Commonly seen are Sea Horses,
Ornate Ghost-Pipe fish, Frog Fish, Stonefish, Turtles, Rays, sea snakes,
Cuttlefish and much more. Guaranteed to give even the most experienced of
diver’s a thrill! |

Black Rock – Three dives.
This dive site consistently gives some of the best diving to be found
anywhere in the Andaman Sea. A true oceanic dive site, with no other land
in site. Big pelagics are common. Manta-rays, Whale-sharks, plus lots of
other different types of sharks and rays can all be seen here. On top of
this, you will see big schools of Jacks and Tuna. If this isn’t enough
the macro life is also first-class but expect to spend your time looking
away from the reef at the bigger stuff out in the blue. |

|
Torres Islands & Devil Rock
Looking for Pelagics? Devil Rock will blow you away! Expect to see large
schools of Mobula Rays (small Manta-rays). Virtually guaranteed and quite
often in schools of one hundred and more. Bull-sharks are a common
sighting at Torres Islands. |

Early morning travel south back to Black Rock
- three dives again. A night dive is available as additional dive. |

In Through the out door'
Considered by virtually all of our guests to be the best dive of the trip.
The highlight of this dive site is the big ‘swim-through’, which is
home to more than ten resident Grey Reef sharks. The majority of the dive
is spent being buzzed by these magnificent creatures. Inside the cave also
lives a family of Nurse sharks, one of which is about four meters long. A
very healthy coral reef, inhabited by a profusion of fish life is another
bonus. Sea Horses are very common here. At the end of the afternoon we
sail back to Kawthoung. |
