Excellent First Liveaboard
This was our first liveaboard, and it’s going to be hard to top. The diving in the Similans was incredible — every site felt unique and full of life. Mickey and the entire crew went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of the whole time. We were always well fed, well rested, and genuinely excited for every single dive. An unforgettable experience.

Super nice liveaboard trip
We had a great dive safari on board the Pawara. Richelieu Rock was the absolute highlight of the trip, but the other dive sites were also nice. We especially liked the calm and relaxed circumstances of the dive (generally not too much current, good visibility, 29 degrees water, easy entry and exit). Dive guide Mici was knowledgeable and friendly. She was willing to send people low on air up early so that the rest of us could stay down a little longer. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They even brought Christmas hats for everyone to wear during Christmas dinner, that included an amazing turkey! Good to know: if you’re over 1.75m, you can not stand up straight in the budget room. Beds were long enough and there was a lot of storage space. Overall a great experience!

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!
