TS 4 Burma (Myannmar)

•  Day 1: Meeting time in our Dive Shop 12.00 where we will have time to try equipment before we go to our boat MV Thai Sea. Before departure comes the Thai emigration on board and will stamp us out of Thailand. Then the boat will take us to Kaw Thoung where we will get visa for Burma. Then it's departure to the first dive site High Rock. If we are in good time there will be opportunity for a night dive.

• Day 2: 1 dive at High Rock which is a great Macro spots. Here we can find all the special things like Pipefish, ghost pipe fish, Pineapple Fish, Frogfish, Sea Horses and many different species of Nudibranchs.                                                                        1 dive at Stewart Island where 3 tunnels cross the islands from part to part. Afternoon and night dive at Tower Rock which can be a very special experience ...                                                                                       Opportunity to see Grey Reef shark, Nurse Shark (and they are big…) and a lots of small things like Sea Horses, Frogfish, Ghost Pipefish and spanish dancers in the evening.

• Day 3: 4 dives around the very special "Shark Cave", one of my favorites. In the afternoon we  will find a bounty beach where we can get some sand between our toes and we might also pass by a local fishermen village.                                                           Chance to see Eagle Ray, Grey Reef Shark, Nurse Shark sleeping in their cave, blotched sting rays, frog fishes, leaf fish, Spearing Mantis Shrimp and many more. Beautiful coral makes it a very colorful dive site.
  

• Day 4: After a night of crossing, we will reach Black Rock, a small rock out in open sea. Here we are going for big stuff, like Sharks and Rays and whatever is passing… Out of 4 days we spent last year on this very special dive sites we had 2 days of "Manta Festival" with Manta rays coming in dozens from everywhere during the whole dives... in this condition, it is quite difficult to focus on the coral side and find the small stuff but it is also very rich in Macro Life. Probably the best dive site in Myanmar but so far from civilization that very few divers have been there. We only go during our rare trip 4.
  

• Day 5: We stay offshore with North Twin and its pinnacle where there is another good chance to cross Manta rays and sometimes eagle rays and even mobulas. Because there are many patches of sand between the bolders making the particularity of this dive site, we also sighted Leopard sharks sleeping quite regularily. Giant seafans are also often hiding wonders so look thouroughly!                                              
  
• Day 6: We will visit Seafan forest in the morning, its name says it all, many boulders and many seafans attract many kinds of fish. You will often see schools of baracudas or batfish on top of the site as well as tuna hunting schools of fusiliers.  In the afternoon we will go around Western rocky for 2 more dives there.
  

• Day 7: 4 dives around Western Rocky which is one of the most famous dive sites in Burma. Don't worry we still wont need to share it!                                     One of the highlights is a tunnel (cave) at 20 meters depth that goes all the way through the island. You will see lobsters hiding in dark corners as well as sleeper lobster and many types of crabs (sponge crab, spider crab, anemone crab...)      We have also spotted Bowmouth Guitar Fish, Whale Shark, Various shark species Harlequin Shrimp, Frogfish and Sea Horses…

• Day 8: The first dive goes into a volcano where a group of black tip sharks likes to hang around…  The other will be in the same area, know for its wealth in macro life, in particular seahorses and rare exotic fishes such as the pineapple fish, shaded bat fish or comet long fins.
  

After the last dive we will head back toward Kaw Thoung where there will be opportunity for some souvenir shopping and a fresh local beer.
Once we got our passports back by the Burmese authorities, we will head back to Thailand where we get a new visa (14 days for visa on arrival).
