Day 1
Guests usually meet at the Sea World I dive shop in Ranong at around 12:00 hrs. There you can try on any rental dive gear that you need. Once all the guests are gathered, a vehicle takes everyone to the liveaboard, where you will receive a scented towel and an ice cool fruit juice. Officers from Thai immigration will come on board and stamp everyone's passports out of Thailand. A short cruise to Kawthaung to get your visa for Burma and all the paperwork is finally sorted. At sunset there will be a delicious dinner, that features fresh fish purchased from local fishermen, served in the air-conditioned dining area. There will also be a fantastic barbecue the night before returning to Kawthaung. Diving will start on the next morning.

Days 2-6
After a good night's rest, wake up with a pre-breakfast followed by the 1st dive of the day. Prepare to be surrounded by schools of barracuda, dogtooth tuna, batfish, unicornfish and trevallies. Big pelagics such as mantas and whale sharks also visit these waters in the south of Burma, but encounters will probably more often be with grey reef and whitetip sharks. Shark Cave, High Rock and Black Rock are dives that you definitely don't want to miss on your safari as they never fail to surprise divers with their abundance of marine life.
A cooked American breakfast will help refuel energies as you get ready for the 2nd morning dive. Burma is also a great place for lovers of smaller stuff. The list of creatures include pipefish, frogfish, seahorses, harlequin and boxer shrimps, and an endless variety of form and colour of nudibranchs.
The waitress served lunch is influenced by having a Thai chef on board: khao pad kai, pad thai kung, and other well known Thai dishes. Fresh fruit and salad will restore any necessary fluids that you might have lost due the hot weather and the diving.
The 3rd dive in the afternoon is followed by snacks and hot drinks, while the night dive (sometimes it might be replaced by a sunset dive) will get you hungry enough for dinner.

Day 7
2 dives after breakfast, before heading to Kawthaung where the authorities will stamp you out of Burma. Lunch will be served on the way. You can also do some local shopping while waiting for the stamp in your passport. Sail back to Ranong and get a new Thai visa, before disembarking from this amazing cruise.

At sunset there will be a delicious dinner, that features fresh fish purchased from local fishermen, served in the air-conditioned dining area.

Days 2-4

Day 5
You don't want to miss the 2 post breakfast dives on the last day, as the best of your cruise is about to happen. Richelieu Rock might just look like a remote rock located in the middle of nowhere, but once you jump in the water it's like entering into an aquarium. Anything can be seen here on a good day: whale sharks, manta rays and other sharks are quite common. And if the big pelagics are not there, the schools of fish and critters that you can encounter here will leave you speechless nevertheless.
Lunch will be served while cruising back to Koh Payam and then to Ranong, arriving at around 18:00 hrs.
