Beneath the Mergui Archipelago

to preview movie click here: Beneath the Mergui Archipelago,  showreel 10 min.

Mergui Archipelago, located in southern most part of Myanmar (Burma), comprises over 800 beautiful islands. Due to its virtual isolation, the islands and surrounding seas are alive with an amazing diversity of flora & fauna and very beautiful underwater scenes and marine life. Just north of the Surin Islands, an imaginary line divides Thai waters from Myanmar's Mergui Archipelago. Also known as the Myeik (Burma) Archipelago, this immense area covers approximately 36,000 sq km (14,000 sq miles) and includes roughly 800 islands. Scuba Diving here is still in its infancy, as the entire region has been off-limits to outsiders since the late 1940s. After several years of negotiation by Phuket dive operators, the archipelago was opened for tourism in 1997, yet much of the area remains unexplored. Join me in this expedition thru burmese waters discovering and diving in this virgin land encountering sharks and rays like the white tip and nurse sharks in the burma banks and getting close with schools of grey reef sharks and mobula, devil and giant manta rays.
