Scuba divers have always been an adventurous breed, constantly seeking the greener grass, or bluer seas in this case, on the other side of the metaphorical fence. Each dive leaves them hungry for more, always seeking the unexplored reef just beyond the horizon.

Each dive leaves them hungry for more, always seeking the unexplored reef just beyond the horizon. Scenic aquatic locations such as the Florida Keys and the Caribbean are early favorites, but for the more experienced and hearty diver, the ultimate spots in the world for true adventure diving are Thailand and Burma. The waters of Thailand plays host to a hoard of unique aquatic wildlife. In the Andaman Sea, you will find such creatures as the silvertip shark, whale sharks and manta rays. If you do decide to dive these waters, make sure that you are an experienced diver or that you are diving with trained professionals, such as those offered by Mermaid Liveaboards. One extremely popular diving tour that hosts a cruise in both Thailand and Burma is that of Mermaid Liveaboards. This liveaboard diving company has a core group of highly trained professional divers which makes it to Asia's premier liveaboard fleet. If you do find yourself diving the Andaman, you will be amazed at the vast variety of undersea life. As mentioned before, there are several breeds of shark species, spotted stingrays, turtles, sea stars, and sponges. You will be awed when you view the incredibly scenic limestone reefs where these massive conglomerations of sea creatures live among beautiful coral reefs. If you are truly fortunate, you will even have the honor of viewing herds of whales and dolphins that often travel these waters. The wonderful thing about these two areas is that you do not really have to be a professional diver to dive them. There are many Thailand and Burma liveaboard trips that host diving cruises throughout the year, particularly in the high season (November - April). However, you should always make sure that there are professional divers present with you. Diving the seas of Burma and Thailand can be the experience of a lifetime if you go about it by the rules.
