Western Rocky

Western Rocky is Burma's most southern dive location, and one of its most fascinating in terms of the variety of diving available.

Western Rocky (the best dive site in Burma) is a tiny island with a diving route directly through its core that is only partially illuminated by daytime.
A three-meter nurse shark is relatively unusual, and there is a decent possibility of seeing other shark species like the famed whale shark, Bow mouth Guitarfish, harlequin shrimp, frogfish, and seahorse, as well as enormous lobsters and crabs in the anemone-lined hollow. The four offshore islets are worth a dive on their own, with walls covered with clams and colorful sponges and teeming with giant reef squid and chevron barracuda.
