TOUR ITINERARY
Day One - Arrive
Yangon
Greetings day and welcome to Myanmar! Today
you will arrive in Yangon, the capital and
the main gateway to Myanmar, and transfer to
your hotel for overnight. (Dinner/Hotel)
 Day Two - Fly to
Kawthaung
This morning we depart for the airport and
our flight to Kawthaung. Kawthaung is the
gateway of Myeik archipelago located at the
southern edge of Myanmar. The town was built
by British and named Victoria Point. There
is a river name Perchan separate Kawthaung
and ranong of Thailand. Among the colorful
people living on that small town, Myanmar,
Thai, Malay, Indian and Chinese are

Day Three - Live
aboard: 1 Dive at High Rock & 2 Dives at
Steward Island
 This
morning after we enjoy a breakfast, transfer
and board a comfortable dive boat designed
to fit the needs of a small group of divers.
Today we'll have one dive at High Rock and
two dives around Steward Island. High Rock
is a small islet with a single tree. The
depth is only 18 - 25m with plenty of soft
coral and cup coral especially in the deeper
parts. Seahorses are commonly found. The
many cracks and crevices and barrel sponges
dominate the seabed with common lion fish
and bearded scorpion fish sheltering inside
their rims from the currents. (3
dives/All meals/Soft drinks)
Day Four - 3 Dives at
OK Rock
 Today
we sail to another top Myeik Archipelago
diving site, Shark Cave or OK Rock which is
known for its resident docile nurse sharks.
The ragged cave entrance is on the North
West corner of the islet, and is 5-16 metres
deep. Often found guarding the entance are
several grey reef sharks, long-fin trevally
and silver sweetlips. On the far side of the
bowl a tunnel leads to the other side of the
island and a beautiful hard coral reef.
(3 dives/All meals/Soft drinks)
 Day
Five - 4 Dives at South & North Twins Island
Another perfect place for diving - South and
North Twins Island lay the 48 nautical miles
far west of Shark Cave. The Twin Islands'
waters are visited by bull sharks, rainbow
runners, and eagle rays. One kilometer to
the North West of North Twin laid a series
of sloping rocky ridges. These ridges have
sea fans, and flower corals. Lobsters and
Many rays can be seeing in there. (4
dives/All meals/Soft drinks)
Day Six - 3 Dives at Black Rock
 Black
Rock is one of most spectacular dive sites in the Mergui archipelago with an
excellent variety of reef life and abundance of large pelagics including
Silvertips, Gray reef sharks, Blacktips, Bull sharks, Eagle and Manta rays. It
stands in a northwest to southeast position, with steep banks all around, and
with a wall on its wes t and south west sides. There are beautiful soft coral
formations in the deeper areas. Black Rock is a truly awesome Burma dive site.
Not to be missed! (3 dives/All meals/Soft drinks)
Day Seven - 2 Dives each at Western
Rocky and Mcload Island
 Today is our
last day on our dive boat. Western Rocky is a small barren island, perhaps 60 m
wide. It is home to hundreds of painted spiny lobsters and some playful nurse
sharks. Cuttlefishes and big reef squid are common, and giant fusiliers sweep
over the reef, made up of large flower corals and yellow feather stars. There is
a tunnel leads right through the island. Burma Banks are a group of seamounts
with surrounding waters exceeding a depth of 300 m, the top of the banks rise to
within 15-24 m of the surface. Silvertips sharks are quite common here. Tawny
nurse sharks are also easily spotted, as they doze half-hidden under the
overhangs created by the table corals that dot the flat seascape here. This
evening we transfer to a hotel in Kawthaung. (4 dives/All meals/Soft drinks)
Day Eight - Fly back to Yangon
 This
morning we depart for the airport and our flight back to Yangon. Upon arrival in
this capital city, we transfer to our hotel for a short rest. We're off for a
day of great sightseeing in Yangon, including the historic DOWNTOWN
district and Yangon HARBOR. We'll enjoy the activities of Yangon harbor
and colorful streetscapes and elegantly restored COLONIAL-STYLE
buildings. Extended visit to the gilded SULE Pagoda dating back over
2,000 years. We'll continue to KYAUKHTATGYI, a huge reclining Buddha
Image and also have the opportunity to experience a hand-made glass
demonstration at private owned NAGA GLASS FACTORY. This evening we'll
make a special visit to Great SHWEDAGON PAGODA, one of the most
spectacular religious on earth. Witness the Golden Dome, covered with 60 tons of
pure gold, glistening as the sun sets. (Hotel/Breakfast)
Day Nine - Depart Yangon
The
morning is yours to relax or explore more of
Yangon. Here you have a chance to do some
last minute shopping at more than
70-year-old BOGYOKE (Scott) market.
