Burma Banks - Liveaboard Myanmar

Western Rocky | Black Rock | In through the Out Door
North East Little Torres | Burma Banks


General Information

The Burma banks are a collection of seamounts located some 180 km north west of the Similan Islands and only to be reached by Liveaboard. With surrounding waters exceeding a depth of more than 300 m, the top of the banks rise to within 15-24 m of the surface.

Current

Moderate to strong currents , running from northwest to southeast and vice versa.

Marine Life

The Burma Banks in Myanmar used to offer one of the world's best Liveaboard Shark diving in Myanmar due to their large population of Silvertips, but in recent years, fishing has made the reefs much less active. Some Liveaboard boats now don't go to the Burma Banks anymore and prefer the better diving sites in the Mergui Archipelago.
