Sample Itinerary
Due to the diversity of dive sites & the large area covered
by the Mergui Archipelago (Burma) it would not be sensible (or honest
!) to give precise itineraries.
Therefore we give you a listing of sites within the area covered
by each cruise (see above), which is the same approach we do have
for the Similan Island trips. This allows us to offer you the best
sites for your particular holiday.
Sample Day
0700 Coffee, tea, Milo, toast
0800 Dive #1
0930 Breakfast
1130 Dive #2
1300 Lunch
1530 Dive #3
1930 Dive #4
2030 Dinner Cruise to >>>>>
