Hi all, I hope some of you can help with the following:
My wife and I are planning a trip to Asia in March 2007.
I'm a diver, she's not.
I've read great stories about the Mergui Archipelago in Myanmar, but almost all information concerns live-aboards from Thailand for 5 or more days.
If it's not possible without more than 2 days on a live-aboard, I am also interested in suggestions for alternative places I haven't been to (should not be too crowded, have a good beach, and have good diving, and be a good add-on to a 2 week trip - dived in Lombok/Gilis, Malaysia/Perhentian, Thailand/Ko Phi Phi, Philippines/Cebu & Bohol & El Nido). P.S. I'd love to see manta rays and/or possibly a whale shark ;-)
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

- Is it possible to make a shorter dive trip to the Mergui islands, and can it be done from Myanmar itself and how? What type of accommodation is available nearby?

- Which of the following (or others) would be good alternatives?
- Iryan Jaya (Papua) , Indonesia?
- Komodo island, Indonesia?
- Ko Tao, Thailand?
- Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.
