- 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 time on Pawara
Great time all around. The food was amazing, the crew as well. The dive sites were beautiful and our guide Mickey was full of energy and love for the ocean. The vibes on the boat were great, loads of fun A big shout-out to the Thai crew who made our life so easy, even reminding us to drink water before a dive and waiting with hot towels after sunset/night dives.

A liveaboard done right!!
Just finished a 4 night trip on the Pawara and I genuinely cannot recommend it enough. I was nervous that 4 nights on the boat would be too much but I can assure you that by the end you will not be ready to leave. From the moment we stepped on board, the crew set the tone - professional, attentive and incredibly warm. You could feel that they truly care about the guests and the ocean. What stood out most to me was how clearly they prioritized environmental respect. Briefings reinforced protecting the reef and preserving the dive sites, and not in a preachy way, but as a diver that meant a lot. The diving itself was fantastic, but honestly, the energy on deck made the whole trip special. Between dives there was so much laughter, good music and a great vibe. It was a great balance of safety, structure and pure fun! Four nights flew by! I left with amazing memories, new dive buddies, and a lot of appreciation for a crew that clearly loves what they do. Would absolutely do it again. Special shoutout to my dive guides Mickey and Pong!

A lovely cruise on Pawara
We had a really lovely cruise on Pawara. The boat is efficient and nice but the best part are the staff and the dives. Michie is a great leader on the boat and everything goes flawless and he is also a very competent guide and instructor. I had dives also with Philippe and Pom and they are both great guides! My wife had a muscolar problem and they all help her not losing too much dives and she was able to complete advanced course. All the staff is really great and friendly and the food is very good and abundant. I liked a lot the dives, especially Richelieu Rock spot. Very reccomended!
