A French Charter Full of Amazing Encounters in the Mergui Archipelago
For a while now, we had been expecting these little ones! What a great discovery on our last trip! Even if they were the highlight, we cannot forget these gorgeous manta rays we met once more at Black Rock in the Mergui Archipelago — have a look…

Lucky enough to witness a moon eclipse, we also enjoyed amazing underwater visibility, as you can see in these last shots. So how could this French charter not be delighted? 😉
We were very happy to welcome on board Danièle, Sandrine, Jean, Alexandra, Thierry, Emmanuelle, Elodie, Olivier, Claudia, Christopher, Patrice and Laurence, all the way from the south of France.

This French charter was a wonderful showcase of the incredible marine life found while diving in the Mergui Archipelago. From majestic manta rays and resting nurse sharks to moray eels, colourful shrimps, nudibranchs and elusive ghost pipefish, every dive brought another memorable encounter. The combination of rich marine life, excellent underwater visibility and spectacular remote dive sites is what makes a Mergui Archipelago liveaboard adventure such a special experience for divers exploring Myanmar’s Andaman Sea.
