This is Ngapali beach, an amazing white sand and clear blue water beach on the Bay of Bengal in the Rakhine State. It is one of the best sites in the world for diving.
This is the diving boat from Ngapali Water Sport Center that takes you from the harbour to the local dive site (1 hour trip) or to the off shore dive site (2 hours trip).
It’s a fantastic day activity. Just image yourself early in the morning in this boat, having a coffee and some fruit, and all excited for the coming dives!
Time to get ready! So exciting! Put on your gear, check everything is working well with the dive master and jump to the little boat to reach the diving site.
This diving sites around Ngapali beach are still very unexplored and the abundance of colourful reef fish and coral is just magical! Check it out!
After a couple of dives, you can relax and explore the closest beach to the dive site, which must be something similar to paradise.
You will be fascinated by the welcoming and friendly villagers who are most likely to be busy in their daily life activities like fixing the fishing nets and sun-drying fish. Kids will be very curious about you and it’s a great smile exchange to end the day and wake up from the dream :)
Hi.
I`d like to go there for diving on 14th ~ 17th. I am alone and my level is diving instructor.
So.. plz let me know you having schedule there or not, and let me know the way how to go there.
I will be there from Bangkok…so should I go there directly by plain? or must go to Mandalay and go there by bus?
My wife and I will be in Myanmar January and February. How much to go diving. We have taken a diving course to be qualified to do escorted dives.
I am passionate about Myanmar and want to share with you the beauty of this country through its Culture, People & Food. Be inspired by my book 'Delicious Myanmar' and let me know if I can help you plan your trip from my own and extensive experience. Happy travels, Juan

Hi Kenny,
The best way to get to Ngapali is by aeroplane. You can easily find good flight options from Yangon. You can also go by bus from Yangon but it’s a loooong journey (16 hours aprox.)
But June is low season because of the monsoon season and the diving trips and most of resorts are closed in Ngapali.
We have to wait for the next season (October – April)!
Cheers,
Juan

Great! You’ll love diving in Ngapali beach. I paid around US$100 and it included breakfast on the boat, 2 dives and explore a beautiful fishermen village.
