The Phinisi Liveaboard to Offer Itineraries to Myanmar
By Ian Bongso-Seldrup, January 18, 2019 @ 01:30 AM (EST)


The newest addition to Worldwide Dive and Sail (WWDAS)’s fleet of liveaboards, The Phinisi, began running trips to Thailand’s best dive spots on November 1st last year. Now, Myanmar’s Mergui Archipelago has been added to the schedule, with 7- and 10-night cruises beginning on February 4th. The new trips actually mark The Phinisi’s return to Myanmar after almost a decade: Her last regular visit—just before she became the first WWDAS yacht to bear the name Siren—was in December 2009.

The unspoiled Mergui Archipelago, which offers many sites rarely visited by divers, boasts numerous spectacular sights: pristine corals, big animals like sharks and rays, and an array of macro life.
