Scuba Diving in Black Rock

Black rock, is one of the most famous dive sites in Myanmar, with great visibility and many big sea creatures like sharks and rays. Black Rock lies 114km West of the Myanmar coastline and approximately 13 hours from Kawthaung. Underwater the long western side of Black Rock is a sheer wall, dropping to around 22m before rocky ledges tumble down beyond 50m. The eastern side is more of a gradual slope down to 30m and the sandy ocean floor. Most of the rock on this side is covered in colourful soft corals, blanketed by anemones and dotted with huge gorgonian fan corals. The western wall, though not as colourful, has plenty of cracks and crevices that, like the entire dive site simply teem with life.
