Western Rocky, way out in Myanmar’s Mergui Archipelago, feels like a proper adventure. You're diving a rocky islet that’s pocked with a swim-through, right through the middle of it. We love easing through that tunnel, keeping an eye out for nurse sharks and sometimes even bowmouth guitarfish snoozing on the sand. Outside, the currents can pick up, so it's best for intermediate divers who are comfortable moving with a bit of flow. We usually find plenty of octopus tucked into crevices and schools of snapper hanging around the deeper sections, making it a solid, interesting dive.
