Myanmar NOTICE : As of 2021 diving liveaboards are unable to sail into Myanmar for scuba diving cruises. This boat is currently only sailing in Thailand, but will return to Myanmar as soon as possible.
Liveaboard diving in Myanmar’s Mergui Archipelago does not get any better than on The Phinisi. This luxurious diving yacht offers 10-night cruises into Burma for up to 18 guests. Each of its cabins has a private bathroom, tasteful décor and independently-controlled air conditioning. There is no need to make sacrifices of luxury or itinerary. These Mergui diving safaris are guaranteed to be the best available, especially at the competitive rates.
Starting in 2019, The Phinisi offers the best diving in the Andaman Sea on board the best diving liveaboard that is returning to service after being so popular in The Maldives. From the design & layout to the extremely professional & experienced team, every aspect of the boat and its cruises will delight guests who want to dive into the unknown, but without compromising comfort.
There are seven well-appointed cabins on The Phinisi, each with its own private bathroom that has hot & cold freshwater showers & a proper western toilet. There are porthole windows, storage areas including a security safe, and of course air conditioning that is controlled by the guests of each cabin.
Communal areas include a large air-conditioned lounge and outdoor dining & relaxing areas. The comfort is so nice that you could be forgiven for being reluctant to leave the luxury to go diving. But don’t worry, because the team have two tender dinghies and a special platform to ensure that getting off and back on the boat, and into and out of the crystal-clear tropical sea is not only easy, but a pleasure. And the diving in Burma is guaranteed to be something special.
The chefs serve a delicious array of meals throughout each cruise that will ensure everyone is very well fed and wanting for nothing more. There are local & imported beers, wines & spirits available from the bar, as well as a wide choice of non-alcoholic beverages.
Please note that although the diving is in Myanmar (Burma) these trips begin and end in Ranong Town, southern Thailand.
