Mergui Archipelago, Myanmar

The team at Similan Seven Sea Club really knows the Mergui Archipelago, and that’s why we like them. If you’re looking to dive Myanmar, these are the folks to go with. They specialise in liveaboards into those wild, remote waters, a region still largely untouched and perfect for divers seeking something genuinely different. You’ll choose them because they’ve been running trips here for ages, navigating the often-tricky logistics with a relaxed confidence that makes all the difference. Our favourite thing about diving with them is how genuinely quiet the sites are. Imagine dropping onto a reef and seeing more grey reef sharks than other divers – that’s the Mergui experience. We’ve had incredible encounters here, like a mobula ray ballet that lasted for twenty minutes, or the sheer number of cuttlefish at Black Rock. The soft corals burst with colour, a real treat for photographers, and the visibility often hits that blissful 25-30 metre mark. They run PADI courses too, but honestly, this is a destination for divers with a few logged dives under their belt, ready for some proper exploration.
