Made from the finest Asian hard woods, MV Sai Mai was built in 1993 and back then it was the boat to be on for Burma diving cruises. With the owners tender loving care Sai Mai has aged gracefully and a complete re-design in 2006 has been undertaken to provide more space and comfort while maintaining the original character.

The number of divers is now limited to just eight, meaning much more space in the cabins, the communal areas and on the dive deck. The four cabins now all have en-suite bathrooms and individually controlled air conditioning.
The shaded relaxing area on the upper deck is comfortable and is the place where meals are serve al fresco and where fishy tales are swapped in the evening. There is plenty of space at the front of the boat for sunbathing. The dive deck is never crowded and has ample storage space. The main deck has a separate storage area for your camera equipment.
Magnus, one of the owners of the boat, is the tour leader. This means a more flexible and personal service than other operators provide. Sai Mai remains dedicated to diving in Burma, and the crew know these waters very well. Waldi, the divemaster, has been diving Burma for over seven years now and he knows places that few others know.
Nitrox is available on every cruise. If you want to get enriched air nitrox certified, it's easily done on these cruises.
