Mermaid I Liveaboard Itinerary
BURMA
SAFARI - 9 DAYS/9 NIGHTS
Departure Day
Guests transfer
to Patong between 17:00-18:00 checking in at Sea
World Dive Team. Transfer to MV Mermaid I by
19:00 for boat and safety briefing, settle into
your cabin then set up equipment. Prior to
getting underway, the crew set off firecrackers
to bring good luck for the cruise , dinner is
served and we sail usually calm seas for 6 hours
to the Similan Islands.
Day One - 4
dives
Wake up call at 7am in
paradise ! After a continental breakfast, 1st
dive around 8am at the beautiful coral encrusted
crystal clear East Of Eden on island # 7
followed by a full western breakfast. Visit
Princess Beach at Island #4, visit the small
museum or shop for a Similans souvenir. Dive #2
at Koh Bon for chance for Manta. After a
delicious lunch and time to relax, enjoy a 3rd
dive at Koh Tachai for pelagics and the chance
for whale shark and mantas followed by an
interesting night dive. Then relax with a cool
beer and new friends after a delicious dinner.
Day Two
- 3 dives
First dive today either at Koh
Tachai or the world famous Richelieu Rock. After
breakfast, dive # 2 and # 3 at Richelieu Rock
then its north to clear the Burma border. Relax
on the wonderful sundeck or sort your Richelieu
photos in our spacious saloon. After clearing
the border and a delicious dinner, we head off
for our 1st stop in Burma.
Day
Three - 4 dives
Wake up in Burma and get ready
for some fascinating diving. Today we dive High
Rock, Stewart Island, Rocky Island and
experience some great macro opportunities such
as rare nudibrancs, stick pipe fish, spindle
cowries and more. Not into small stuff - then
check out the millions of moray, stone fish,
scorpion fish, lion fish in full predatory
action.
Day
Four - 4 dives
Some call it "In through the
out door" some call it Shark Cave - awesome
diving awaits what ever you call it ! Maybe the
nurse sharks will be in the chamber ? Maybe some
Grey Reef sharks in their sleeping formation
cruising in the canyon ? If not, then you will
still be busy with loads of snappers, bait fish,
sea horse, ornate ghost pipe fish, beautiful
soft corals housing rare and unusual cowries and
more.
Day
Five - 4 dives
Today's feature site is Black
Rock where we make 3 day and 1 sunset dive.
Awesome dives with grey reef shark, white tip
reef shark, leopard sharks, huge garoupa, giant
marbled rays and trevally, huge remoras and
masses of pelagic fishes. Top this off with
ornate ghost pipe fish, frogfish and a million
glass fish and this day will please every diver!
Weather allowing we will cruise 8 hours
overnight to the Burma Banks.
Day Six
- 4 dives
An early start on our shark
safari for nurse sharks, white tip and black tip
reef sharks, silvertip sharks as we do 4 day
dives on Heckford Bank (Big Bank) and Silvertip
Bank. The Banks are really weather dependent as
they are way out to sea. If the conditions are
not favorable for the Banks, we will divert to
some other great sites in the area.
Day
Seven - 4 dives
Keep your eyes open for bull
shark, white tip reef sharks and leopard sharks
at Fan Forrest. Pinnacle during dive 1 & 2.
After a scrumptious buffet lunch of Thai and
western specialities Its time for a snooze on
the sun deck, write up your dive log before the
next dive around 3-4pm. The afternoon dive at
Western Rocky Island is a treat for all with a
tunnel going through the island full of glass
fish, hinge beak shrimps and a regular haunt for
nurse and other sharks. Before dinner, we make a
night dive around Western Rocky for all the
night treasures Burma offers. A great day's
diving complete !
Day
Eight - 2 dives
Two good dives around Western
Rockies or closer to the mainland - then we
cruise to Kaw Thaung for border clearance and
maybe some sightseeing. Relax on board, sort
pictures, snooze a little and enjoy the sunset
at we cruise south to Thai waters and more great
dives in the Similans
Similan Islands.
Day
Nine - 2 dives
Last but not least, East of
Eden or Anita's Reef followed by Boulder City or
Shark Fin Reef - a great way to end a super 9
day safari. Make sure you leave some film/disc
space for loads of reef fishes, pelagics,
sharks, nudis and more ! Then enjoy lunch as we
cruise south to Patong, Phuket. The crew will
rinse your gear for you ! We arrive at approx
