Well run Similan Islands Liveaboard, thoroughly recommend.

As experienced Liveaboard divers we were impressed with the organisation and setup. The boat is in excellent condition but with a full complement of divers it is a bit of a squeeze for space, however not uncomfortably so. Boat and dive safety are a clear priority and even travelling with the sister boat Sawasdee Fasai gives a level of confidence that has not always apparent on other trips that we have done. Boat director Mickey was great at the dive briefings and helping keep the busy dive schedule on track. With four dives a day it is full-on and very little down time, however there was still an opportunity to get onshore with an island visit on one afternoon. The deck crew were amazing at helping everyone get kitted up, not to mention assisting with returning aboard. The food produced by the kitchen staff was delicious and plentiful. The diving really didn’t disappoint. Plenty of sealife and particularly large shoals of assorted species at Richelieu, although a tad surprising not to see any sharks the sheer numbers of fish was mind blowing. I would say that the diving is appropriate for advanced level or higher and a Nitrox qualification is almost essential due to the depth and dive frequency.

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 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!
