PART 1:
Myanmar (Burma-Mergui Archipelago) was very good and the dive-sites were filled with critters. The only recent blast-fishing I saw in Myanmar was at High Rock. High Rock has always been a "blast-site" and I wasn't all that surprised to see the damage during the dive. While diving there we heard one far away blast as well. This was the only blast we heard throughout the trip. Other dive-sites in Myanmar were looking very healthy with no visible damage of recent blast fishing.
Richelieu Rock was great but very-very crowded. There were ten (10) boats and we decided to leave after one dive.
OK, here we go:
