- 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..

Diving with Pawara and you’ll be happy.
We had a standardcabin quite next to the engine room, which made it a bit noisy. A person who had problems with falling asleep might need to consider this while choosing the best cabin for itself. - the food was amazing, I tried and eat something of everything. As someone who usually goes through a quite disciplined diet - no chance for skipping something. - the divesites were nice and we had some good luck on what we saw - the boat staff in general was super nice, friendly, and helpful - super big plus - micky, the diveoperator and a dive guide I want to give special credit: his humour, awareness , detailed explanation of divesites and positive energy, willing to help every diver in every experience class really was (as a client) just awesome. He defined the nice vibe the whole trip had. Thanks @ the whole boat-team and guides for a wonderful experience! 5/5 recommendation for choosing Pawara

Great dives and crew at the top 👌
Wiky wiky !! Those words Micky said in the morning to wake us up. What very good memories for this 5 day cruise.The cabins are clean and well laid out.We gain 2kg because it's so good! The team is at the TOP 👌, bravo !! We spent the week with Alex who offered us some very nice dives. Briefings before each dive. On the way back we debrief, Alex guided us well during these 5 days.We had a very nice cruise with a good group and very good friendliness.We had rented our very good quality material and equipment.The resa beforehand was well followed.So very satisfied with this second cruise with Liveaboard and the crew of the Pawara 🤩

I LOVED IT!What were the highlights?- the dives around the Smilian Islands- the entire board staff with their wonderfully friendly and motivated mood- the fantastic food- the dive at Richelieu Rock - these schools of fish, what a blast! 🥹- everything I was able to learn through and from my instructor Mickey and thus expand my diving skills extremelyTHANK YOU for your commitment and the wonderful time!
