Burma liveaboard diving safaris with Mermaid leave from Phuket on Thailand's west coast travelling throughthe beautiful Similan islands and on to the border crossing into Myanmar at the Kawthong immigrati on checkpoint. Our Burma diving trips are from 7-9 days taking in the great diving in the crystal clear waters of the Similan islands in Thailand first before moving on northwards through the Andaman sea to the border crossing at Kawthong and into Burma.
Burma is an amazing place. The Mergui Archipelago contains over 800 islands and is sparsley populated by Mokken, Burmese sea gypsies, that stay for months at a time on their boats fishing and living amongst the islands and Mangrove swamps.
The special thing about diving in Burma is that you really feel like you are out there doing something unusual and not following the tourist trail. You rarely see another dive boat and the sites are many, varied and spread over a large area. Hundreds of islands hide new dive spots that are found each year, dolphins and whales are not uncommon sights and the mangroves present other treasures such as dugongs, kingfishers, wild pigs and monkeys, there's even reports of tigers and elephants hiding in there, a possibility not as ar fetched as it sounds as both were once common here.
Mermaid1 runs a fantastic liveaboard to Burma over a 9 day period which also includes diving in the Similan islands for 2 of these days - check out the links below to find out more details or just read on...

Burma diving - prices and access

Burma liveaboards vary greatly from sailing yachts to larger motor cruisers and consequently the price for diving in Burma also varies a reasonable amount but you generally get what you pay for and so if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
Diving in Burma normally costs from around 150 - 250 Euros a day for a decent boat dependant on such things as the size of the boat, cabins, en-suite bathrooms, air-con etc. There is also a visa entry charge for Burma of US$ 230 to factor into the cost.
It is only possible to dive in Burma by liveaboard boat as access via land is forbidden and in any case would be very difficult due to the lack of any local infrastructure, travel
restrictions and the distance from t he nearest airport to a useable departure port.
Our Burma liveaboard also includes a brief spell diving in the Similan islands as you make your way north to the border crossing between Thailand and Burma.
Summary:
Burma diving is accessed through Thailand via liveaboard on the west coast with the boats leaving and returning to the diving from Phuket.
The trips generally last 9 days and also visit the more northern islands of the Similan islands and dive Richelieu rock and sometimes Koh Bon for 2 of these days.
