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!

Amazing diving with great people
I was very impressed how well organized everything was. The best thing was, that you could tell everyone on the boat does their job with love and passion. All the dive-guides were very excited about the diving and made the trip special for us. I booked the budget cabin with a shared bathroom, which was no problem at all. The shared bathroom was very clean and I rarely had to wait to use it. The food was outstanding!

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!

great experience
So that was my first liveaboard experience and I'm very satisfied. Boat is in good shape, thai crew and dive masters are very friendly. Beto is a great leader who can help you with every problem. Diving was great, especially on Richelieu Rock, and the sunsets were most beautiful I've ever seen. Free nitrox is a nice addition. Def gonna come back in future.

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.
