Faah Yai liveaboard scuba diving cruises in Burma (Myanmar). The Faah Yai was built in 1996 as a private dive yacht, and converted in 1998 to a liveaboard vessel. She caters to a small group of divers, and is a very comfortable boat. All cabins are air-conditioned with en suite bathrooms, and there is plenty of space in the salon and on the sun deck. You can cruise to Burma in style and have the best dives of your life with her experienced and friendly crew.
In 1999, Faah Yai started to run dedicated Burma diving cruises. The advantages are obvious, direct access via Ranong, shorter cruising times, more dives, less stress and the ability to sail further North than any other dive boat currently operating from Phuket. The Cabusa Islands in the far North of the Mergui Archipelago are now on the schedule - the ultimate diving adventure!
