StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Three Islets in the Mergui offers a bit of everything, making it a solid choice for a day’s diving. The main draw is a sizable cave system, where we often spot nurse sharks tucked away in the shadows; if you’re lucky, a grey reef shark might cruise past the entrance. For those who prefer a slower pace, the north-east side has a gentler current and is a good spot for searching out smaller critters like ghost pipefish and seahorses. We’ve also seen plenty of fantail rays here, blending into the sandy patches, alongside healthy numbers of reef fish. It’s a good all-rounder, enjoyable for most experience levels.
