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!

Overall a seamless, well organized, run operation, with well planned dives and all in great comfort!
I have been fortunate to be on a few Liveaboards and this trip exceeded my initial expectation. The crew, the focus on safety, attention to detail and of course the diving were all exceptional and good value for money. Vincent runs a tight ship and will have you miss his wakey wakey routine! Fred who was the dive instructor in our group was a gem and Neptune underwater! Rishab and Pong instructors from the other groups were the octopus whispererand Zen master respectively were lovely to be around. Personally would have no hesitation recommending Pawara or taking another trip on the boat. The chef and kitchen will keep ensure your belly lines grow inspite of all the diving :) Thank you for a lovely time and the only wish was that this trip was longer.

Awesome first Liveaboard experience with great guides, crew, food and new friends
This was my first liveaboard trip and my first time in the similans. We were lucky to have a trip with only half the passengers so we had a really relaxing trip with lots of space. The pawara is built for 26 (and they'd easily fit) but it might get a little crowded on the sundeck ;). The diveguides were amazing, made us feel safe and have fun at all times and showed us all the awesome stuff. Above the surface, the cook and crew provided us with amazing food so the whole trip was just awesome. Remember Whalesharks aren't guaranteed but you'll have 14 diverse dives with great sealife ranging from koh bon via koh tachai to richelieu rock and back via the boonsung wreck.They even did a really cool video. dive - eat - sleep - repeat :D Coffee, dive Nr 1, breakfast, relaxing, next dive... Thanks a lot to the whole team around Beto taking so good care of us. I'm coming back for sure!
