This
new
S.E.A. Charters adventure
cruise
is
a
combination
of
diving,
snorkeling
coral
reefs,
and
kayaking
around
remote,
pristine
tropical
islands.
We
explore
the
rain
forest,
rivers
and
mangroves,
discovering
an
abundance
of
marine
life
and
wildlife.
Our
liveaboard
tours
operate
in
the
remote,
pristine
Mergui
archipelago,
Burma,
Myanmar,
offering
wonderful
opportunities
for
kayaking,
trekking
and
bird
watching
including the collection of myanmar swallows' nests in a huge cave-
and
there's
plenty
of
time
to
relax
on
the
deserted
white
sandy
beaches,
scattered
with
sea
shells
and
turtle
tracks.
The
only
footprints
you
will
find
are
those
of
the
rain
forest
animals!
The
modern-day
Mergui
Archipelago
is
as
it
was
in
days
gone
by,
bar
the
piracy!
Due
to
the
archipelagoés
virtual
isolation,
the
islands
and
surrounding
seas
are
alive
with
an
amazing
diversity
of
wildlife,
flora
and
fauna.
Parrots,
hornbills,
sea
eagles,
Brahminy
kites
and
herons
fill
the
skies,
whilst
on
land
the
animal
population
includes
wild
cattle,
elephants,
monkeys,
deer,
wild
pigs,
tigers,
crocodiles
and
rhinoceros. The
only
human
inhabitants
in
the
area
are
the
sea
gypsies,
a
nomadic
sea-faring
race
whose
lifestyle
has
changed
very
little
over
the
years,
they
have
been
the
sole
inhabitants
of
the
Mergui
Archipelago
over
the
years
and
still
practice
the
same
fishing
and
boat
building
techniques
used
for
generations.
The
gateway
to
the
archipelago
is
Kawthaung
(Victoria
Point)
on
the
southern
tip
of
Myanmar,
a
25
minute
boat
trip
from
the
Thai
fishing
port
of
Ranong.
The
area
closest
to
Myanmar's
shore
is
very
scenic
but
has
no
decent
diving.
The
middle
area
is
more
interesting.
Visibility
is
varies
from
only
fair
to
excellent,
but
there
is
plenty
of
interesting
marine
life.
Different
species
of
sharks
and
stingrays
as
well
as
a
good
assortment
of
small
and
semi-rare
creatures
such
as
ghost
pipefish
and
razorfish
were
spotted
here.
The
reefs
are
mainly
rocky
with
hard
corals
although
some
areas
have
sponges,
fans
and
soft
corals
as
well.
The
westernmost
region
of
the
Mergui
Archipelago
is
where
the
water
gets
deeper
and
clearer.
This
is
where
the
sharks
roam.
Silvertips,
grey
reef,
whitetip,
bullsharks
a
wonderful
variety.
The
underwater
scenery
is
somewhat
like
a
cross
between
the
Similans
and
the
Burma
Banks.
Nice
big
schools
of
jacks
swirl
around
the
rocks,
stingrays
rest
on
the
seafloor
nearby
huge
seafans.
Some
of
the
best
divesites
(so
far)
in
the
Mergui
Archipelago
are
Western
Rocky
Island,
3
Islets,
Black
Rock
and
West
Canister
(this
is
where
we
are
still
alone). "Unique" is
the
best
way
to
describe
the
Mergui
Archipelago.
We
were
the
first
dive
operator
ever
to
dedicate
a
diving
Live-aboard
to
solely
visit
this
remote
and
extremely
beautiful
area
(most
others
choose
to
combine
Thailand
and
Burma).
Since
then
we
have
been
operating
live-aboard
trips
exploring
the
delights
of
this
truly
unspoiled
area
since
1998.
We
had
the
whole
area
almost
to
ourselves
for
a
many
months,
but
inevitably
a
few
others
have
followed
in
our
footsteps,
although
almost
no
other
operator
has
anywhere
near
the
same
level
of
experience
and
knowledge
of
the
area
as
Scuba
Quest.
Comprising
over
eight
hundred
islands
and
covering
an
area
of
ten
thousand
square
miles,
these
pristine
islands
are
totally
untouched
by
modern
development.
