A DIVE Center is
planned to be opened in Thahtay Island situated within Myeik Archipelago in the
Andaman Sea, according to a spokesperson of Myanmar Dive Center.
Situated in
Kawthaung Township of Taninthayi Region, the small island which is directly
adjacent to Ranong in southern Thailand, is suitable to establish a dive center
as part of marine-based tourism development plan.
With the purpose
of providing scuba diving experience for international travellers who tour to
Myeik Archipelago, the Myanmar Dive Center has decided to establish a new dive
center in Thahtay Island.
The decision is
based on the development of a dive center in Ngwehsaung Beach, a popular beach
resort in Ayeyawady Region, opened last year, with the organizer hoping to
achieve a successful outcome from the new project.
The new center
will be opened in the designated area before high season this year, said an
official of the Myanmar Dive Center, adding that negotiations for the project
have already been made and the body is planning to give special trainings to
dive guides.
A traveller
wishing to get underwater diving experience has to pay between US$120 and $150
charges based on service plans.
There are so
many untouched islands with beautiful sandbanks, clean water and sea creatures
in Myeik Archipelago.
