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.

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 🤩

Consistently positive and recommendable
Overall, extremely friendly and helpful crew. The Guids respond to wishes and put a lot of effort into the underwater search for what you want to see.The highlight of the diving was Richelieu Rock, which we found to be the nicer dive site compared to Similan Island.

Exceeded every expectation
Trip of a lifetime, would go again in a heartbeat. The master suite assured a comfortable escape after enjoying 4 full dives, definitely worth the upgrade. The water pressure out performed our expectations and we slept like the dead. The dive outings were well planned in advance and the groups were well divided based on experience and dive times.Pong was an excellent DM and we felt safe and well paced, even in currents. Micky kept us entertained with his briefings and the crew couldn’t have been more helpful or positive. The Thai food was excellent and plentiful. The Pawara was a fantastic value. The Similan islands are a dive destination not to miss.

Amazing liveaboard - highly recommend
As someone said before, this is champagne on a beer budget. Everything is so nice - you even get a hot towel after night dives. The entire crew is sweet and helpful. Food was absolutely amazing. And of course, the diving was epic thanks to skilled dive guides. You can’t control wildlife or weather, but you can control some things. This crew is so skilled, knowledgeable, and kept us safe the entire time. Rooms are small but super comfortable - have good ac, cozy beds, and hot showers. Couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend. Big thank you!
