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.

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!
