Oh ... what a cruise!!!
For our last exploration trip in the Burma Banks, we have been very very blessed meeting so many fantastic creatures!
Our lucky group on board: Christophe, Chloé, Stéphane, Laure, Sandra and Gregory from Switzerland; Fabian and Michaela from Germany; Sylvie, Ghislaine and Patrick from France; Ivy from Australia; Andre from England; Areena from Thailand and Gils from Netherlands.
A fantastic visibility, plenty of fishes everywhere and as soon as you were jumping in the water, you could face one of these big nurse sharks!
And as it was not enough, while you were looking at the sharks on one side, huge marbled rays where coming on the other one :)
It was already just amazing ... but it was just the beginning !!!
A breathtaking and completely unexpected encounter, getting close to a tiger shark, first time in 7 years !!!
And another one, with a rare porcupine ray!
Huge corals ...
Not only in the Burma Banks but everywhere, the dive sites were full of fishes. Nice schools of jacks, surgeon fishes, snappers...
An incredible diversity of everything! Any kind of shrimp ...

Also harlequin shrimps! Can you see the cute little one on the left?
Nudis ...
Spanish dancers ...
Seahorses, ghost pipefishes ...
And so much more ...

On the boat, a belly dance night which brought everybody on the dance floor!

As usual, sunsets and sunrises!!!
Diving the remote Burma banks: a shark enthusiast's paradise
Would you like to explore the unexplored?
Join one of our 9 days exploratory cruise and dive the Burma banks!
125 km offshore from the southern town of Kawthaung, the secrets of the Burma banks are waiting to be discovered. On the edge of the central myanmar continental shelf and hidden in the depths of international waters (in an economic zone claimed by Myanmar), lie a collection of undersea mountains little known to humans. Starting at depths of over 300m, these massive sand dunes rise all the way up to a dive-able zone 15-30 meters below the surface of this unassuming sector of the open ocean. There are 6 documented peaks - Big, Coral, Heckford, Rainbow, Roe, and Silvertip banks- and countless unnamed peaks that start even deeper than 300m and rise to depths that are too deep for recreational divers. Thankfully the visibility is so good that you can usually still see them from above even if they are too deep to actually get up close and personal. Being so tricky to access they are veritable unchartered territory, yours to discover.
