Amazing Underwater Life in Myanmar! In 2014 I traveled solo to dive the Mergui Archipelago, part of which is in Myanmar. For more on that adventure, check me out on Scubaverse at http://www.scubaverse.com/diving-the-mergui-archipelago/. There were some weather conditions that interupted the diving, but wherever one dives, there is always excitement and the thrill of discovery. I am currently planning another trip with The Smiling Seahorse on their brand new boat! Just waiting until coronavirus has a vaccine or when it is safe to travel. Here are photos of some of the amazing underwater life in Myanmar!

3 Rules that will Help You with Amazing Underwater Photography
WOW. I’ve only seen most of these creatures in aquariums so this is so cool. I have total FOMO knowing you saw cuttlefish live and in person hanging out on the ocean floor – all changing colors n’stuff! (Also, nice to see a different side of Myanmar!)
Cuttlefish are beyond awesome! They hypnotize crabs to catch them!
It’s amazing the array of color from your pictures looks like a wonderful trip .
It was awesome!
Sea creatures are so fascinating and quite fanciful. Love all the colors, shapes varieties. Since I’m a Cancer, my favorite photo is the one of the crab. 🙂
Lol that makes total sense!
Underwater is so foreign to me I really cannot even tell what I’m looking at. LOL So colorful and amazing! Definitely a perk of a diver’s life.
That’s why I caption everything
