Burma Diving Expeditions , located in Kawthoung, Burma, Myanmar, runs three sailing yachts to the Mergui Archipelago in Burma and to the Andaman Islands in India from the beginning of November through the end of April. Shark diving and big pelagics are the features of this maze of islands, which still leaves many new places to be discovered. The archipelago had been opened by the government only since 1997 and you will not find a deck chair or beach umbrella on any of the 8000 beaches.
