- Dive guides were experienced, friendly, but also very observant and on top of things at all times. They kept schedules tight while keeping everyone in a happy mood.. Boat crew : deckhands, cooks and captain were all super friendly and helpful towards divers at all times, and the food was excellent, in good quantity at all times.. Boat was clean, kept clean. Dive gear was kept orderly while lounge and dining area were kept clean and tidy..

Amazing crew and great diving
We visited Similan National Park onboard of Pawara and enjoyed every moment of the trip including fantastic dives. The crew of Pawara is catering to all guest needs and the food is outstanding. The diving operation is smooth and all dive guides are taking care of safety of the guests and high quality dives. We had great time!

Just awesome
Everything was great. The staff was so good, they always gave good briefing, about everything, so you always know what to expect, and what to do. They served food and snacks between each dive, and it was so delicious. So you never walked around hungry. The boat boys took good care of the equipment, and make sure your gear always was ready for each dive. Everything was just great, and I’m definitely gonna come back for round 2. 😉

Excellent
Highly recommend for their liveaboard boat the MV PAWARA, had an excellent time on a 4 night 5 day dive to Similans and Richelieu Rock. We weren't experienced divers but our dive instructor Mickey was a blast and taught us very well. Food was 10/10 and onboard service impeccable.

Amazing liveaboard experience
I had an incredible liveaboard experience on Pawara. The diving was world-class, the food was consistently delicious, and the staff were wonderfully kind and attentive. Our dive guide Pong made sure that we had incredible dives and helped us spot some of the rarer species around the dive sites. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort and adventure combined.

Amazing liveaboard - highly recommend
As someone said before, this is champagne on a beer budget. Everything is so nice - you even get a hot towel after night dives. The entire crew is sweet and helpful. Food was absolutely amazing. And of course, the diving was epic thanks to skilled dive guides. You can’t control wildlife or weather, but you can control some things. This crew is so skilled, knowledgeable, and kept us safe the entire time. Rooms are small but super comfortable - have good ac, cozy beds, and hot showers. Couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend. Big thank you!

Exceeded every expectation
Trip of a lifetime, would go again in a heartbeat. The master suite assured a comfortable escape after enjoying 4 full dives, definitely worth the upgrade. The water pressure out performed our expectations and we slept like the dead. The dive outings were well planned in advance and the groups were well divided based on experience and dive times.Pong was an excellent DM and we felt safe and well paced, even in currents. Micky kept us entertained with his briefings and the crew couldn’t have been more helpful or positive. The Thai food was excellent and plentiful. The Pawara was a fantastic value. The Similan islands are a dive destination not to miss.
