Mergui Port
There are three floating pontoons off Mergui town for shore access. Use the middle one.
There is a good anchorage just south of the town in front of a large statue of a reclining Buddha. Depth is about 15m.
Mergui Archipelago
The islands themselves are very beautiful, with plenty of bird & wildlife. Although there are practically no cruising boats, there are, at times, many fishing boats.
Sadly, it has been reported that there is a noticeable amount of plastic and other garbage on the beaches. The garbage is washed up at high tide and as these islands are unoccupied, there is no one to clear it away. However, you will find untouched beaches without a single footprint and no sign of habitation.
For scuba diving, local knowledge of the dive sites is vital for locating the best sites. There are some really stunning places, but they are far apart and a lot of traveling is required to be able to dive them all.
