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!

Good trip, but partly below our expectations
The cabin was wet and had a musty smelling. So the sleeping comfort was not good at all. The guides were friendly and nice and tried to fulfill our wished. The diving was not bad, but we expected more and uncommon fishes / creatures. But there are too many divers at the diving spots. So a good trip, but not spectacular.

Terrific diving with a terrific crew
seeing a seahorse at 32m, the blocks of rock at the Elephant head site, the marine life at boongsoong wreck. It's not a non smoking trip and certain guests were inconsiderate. from now on all my trips will be on smoke free boats. we did our advanced open water and enriched air certs on board too. terrific teaching with Pato.
