Diving and liveaboard
trips into the
Andaman Sea (a part of the
Indian Ocean) is a great adventure. The Andaman Sea
on the Myanmar side is one of the last unexplored
part on our planet and offer a unique experience. The Andaman Sea is
off the West coast of Thailand and Myanmar
(Burma) it is the ideal area for liveaboard trips.
Liveaboard scuba diving trips
in southern Thailand are
mainly operated out of Phuket visiting the underwater attractions around Phuket Island, the
Similan
Islands,
Phangnga Bay and many other places. One very
promising trip via liveaboard is into the Andaman Waters off the Myanmar
(Burma) Andaman coast. |

In this area there
was
almost no contact to foreigners
since the nineteen century. The last times
foreigners were seen in the Myanmar Andaman Sea was
during
British colonial time, now slowly some "liveaboard" diving tours are
offered out of Phuket.
There are not many places on
earth so
untouched and this wont last very long and
you |
|
can enjoy it only with liveaboard trip.
Pls. have a look into the new
e-book (also printed version) on “the
Andaman Sea and the Sea Nomads” which includes a
comprehensive chapter on the underwater world in the
Andaman Sea. |

Scuba adventures for
the passionate scuba diver are waiting in the
Andaman Sea via liveaboard trips off the coats of
southern Thailand and Myanmar or Burma.
Great scuba diving holidays and underwater
tours are for sure around the exotic
tropical islands with sandy beaches, granite
boulders and a lush tropical vegetation. The
dive grounds of the Andaman Sea northwest of
Phuket Island in southern Thailand are
famous for their marine life, the corals and
the beautiful islands. |

All scuba diving trips
in the area are very safe and professionally
managed. All divers from the liveaboard company are PADI
certified divers and are from "western" countries. Also most of the
crew, this make the scuba diving trips quite
expensive but also very interesting, since there is
communication possible and safe. One can also start
learning scuba diving and take his or her scuba
lessons at the yacht.
On your liveaboard scuba diving travel all
diving accessories are on board no need to bring
anything related to diving with you.
The scuba diving gear and scuba equipment are up to
date, good maintained and function ok. Actually
there is always a dive master around to assist, this
is underwater and above the water.
Excellent
dive sites are all along the Thai coast
and deep into southern Myanmar. There are the famous Similan Islands
and Surin |

Similan islands
|
|
Islands on the
Thai side and the great Myeik or Mergui
Archipelago on the Myanmar side. A scuba
diving trip through this exotic and mostly
uninhabited island world is a real adventure
for a lifetime.
Scuba holidays and
affordable scuba packages are offered at the
dive shops at Phuket Thailand, or have a look in the
internet.

A liveaboard scuba diving trip could just
be the right add on for your vacation in southern Thailand.
Different boats, yachts and bigger ships
are available in Phuket southern Thailand for a scuba diving
adventure via a life aboard trip.
You can eat and sleep
on the liveaboard
boat or aboard the
cruise ship, boat charters would also be a alternative,
have several dives per day with a experienced diva master accompanying
you and your fellow scuba diver.
A liveaboard trip to a scuba diving paradise can be a great outdoor escape. Spend some time to get an
idea of the environment

for sure not tough and Spartan.

But there are important differences between a
one day liveaboard trip in the Andaman Sea and a
liveaboard trip over several days.
These include the
size and type of ship that'll work, the amount
of storage |

needed,
tolerance for each other in close
quarters, daily routines scuba
diving equipment and others.
Since it
might get boring in the evening on
the ship bring along some books and
other things to do.
Your
liveaboard cruiser is your own special island, immersed in nature, yet with the
comforts of home.
|
|
Even if you're anchored off somewhere. Since you are
on a ship--not a bus or plane try not to run on
schedule. |

Consider the
weather, the best weather for your
liveaboard scuba diving trip in southern
Thailand is between end of October and
April.
When you go away
on a liveaboard trip
you're out in the real world and at the
mercy of the weather. It puts you in tune with a life rhythm
more meaningful than the aircon control.
But maybe you need a little more
than the "partly cloudy" veneer of TV
forecasts.
Don't be stressed by not being able
to keep in touch by having the phone ring in paradise.

used for liveaboard is within cellular |

range, but it might be the best
solution just switch off the phone once you step
onto the ship.
This wont work in Myanmar waters. Actually
all what is written her could be also
applied to other liveaboard destinations
like diving Galapagos,
Australia, Bahamas, Bali,
Belize, Bermuda and other scuba diving destinations. |

A journey and a liveaboard trip for scuba diving into the Andaman
opens up a new view into a tropical paradise. Ideal for scuba and skin diving.
At the islands of the Andaman Sea palm trees
move slowly in the soft breeze, sandy white beaches and crystal blue
and emerald shaded water let you forget all the
usual nonsense and trouble you have at home. No
telephone, no mobile phone, what a relief. But most
of the liveaboard tour operator carry a satellite
phone for emergency. This the situation in the Burma
or Myanmar Andaman Sea. In
Thailand the mobile
still works even a few kilometer off the coast. A
typical sea gypsies live aboard boat from that area
is pictures here
There are no two legged crowds around but
plenty of the fish crowd and the Andaman Sea off
Thailand and Myanmar featured some of the world's
best scuba diving sites.
Located off the
southwest coast of Myanmar, just a bit north of
Phuket Thailand is the Myeik or Mergui Archipelago.
A totally unspoiled tropical paradises thats the
home of the sea gypsies you can see at the pictures.
The islands where already discovered by the
Portuguese in the 16.th Century, probably more
early by the Chinese.
Today at Phuket they have a laid-back lifestyle, friendly
people whose friendliness grow exponentially with
the amount of money spend, actually they don't like
"cheap Charlie's" very much. This type of people are
called 'keneau" by the Thai and thats not very nice.
But in any case a great vacation opportunity for
divers and non-divers.
