StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

The Mergui Archipelago still feels like a proper frontier, perfect for divers who prefer their adventures a little rough around the edges. We’ve found the diving here to be consistently surprising, with everything from whale sharks cruising past isolated pinnacles to tiny nudibranchs tucked away in the cracks of deep walls. Currents can be lively, so it’s best for experienced divers comfortable with drift dives, but the payoff of schooling fish and big pelagics is usually worth it. It’s not just about the diving either; the sheer remoteness and untouched islands make surface intervals just as interesting.
