Wake up in paradise to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and enjoy a light continental breakfast before heading into the water for a first Dive 1 at the coral encrusted and crystal clear "East Of Eden". After kitting off a full western breakfast will be served.
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 so you can relax on the wonderful sundeck or sort your Richelieu photos in our spacious saloon. 
Wake up in Burma and get ready for some fascinating diving. Today we dive High Rock, Stewart Island and Rocky Island to experience some great macro opportunities including rarely seen nudibranchs, stick pipe fish, spindle cowries and more.
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 cruising in the canyon. If not, then you should still be busy with loads of snappers, bait fish, sea horse, ornate ghost pipe fish and many beautiful soft corals housing rare and unusual cowries and more.
Today's feature site is Black Rock where we make 3 daytime and 1 sunset dive. All are awesome dives with plenty of shark action including grey reef sharks, white tips and leopards, but also huge groupers, giant marbled rays, trevallies, remoras and masses of other pelagic fishes. 
We start off the day with a visit to the North East Little Torres, a great place for sharks, huge rays and eagle rays plus a good fish site. Then we head to our northern most destination Tower Rock – famous for it's schooling mobiladae rays - definitely a dive to remember and loads of fun!
Start off on our penultimate day with two nice dives around the Western Rockies or closer to the mainland, before cruising over to Kaw Thaung for border clearance and maybe some sightseeing.
Our final day arrives all too soon, but with dives at East of Eden or Anita's Reef followed by Boulder City or Shark Fin Reef, it's a great way to end a super safari. Just be sure to save enough film / hard-disc space for all of the reef fishes, pelagics, sharks, nudibranchs and more you'll see
