StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

West Point Pinnacle in Myanmar's Mergui Archipelago makes for a gentle introduction to these less-frequented waters. It's a shallow dive, topping out around 22 meters, which is great for newer divers or anyone looking for a relaxed afternoon. We’ve found the currents here are typically quite mild, allowing you to really take your time exploring the reef. You’ll often spot plenty of reef fish darting amongst the soft corals, along with nudibranchs tucked into crevices if you look closely. It’s not about big pelagics here, but more about the small, intricate details.
