Burma liveaboard dive trips depart and return to Thailand, usually Phuket, Khao Lak or Ranong. There is normally a short stop at Kauwtaung (Victoria Point) where immigration proceedures are taken care of. During this time guests can disembark the boats to explore the small town's streets or walk up to the temple overlooking the bay. It is a chance to buy cheap Burmese rum and cigarettes among other things.

Once in Myanmar waters it is unlikely that you will leave your dive boat except maybe for a BBQ on a deserted beach.
