Just awesome
Everything was great. The staff was so good, they always gave good briefing, about everything, so you always know what to expect, and what to do. They served food and snacks between each dive, and it was so delicious. So you never walked around hungry. The boat boys took good care of the equipment, and make sure your gear always was ready for each dive. Everything was just great, and I’m definitely gonna come back for round 2. 😉

Awesome diving and so fun.
This is a very fun crew. The boat was great. They were so helpful. We saw our first Sea Snake, and a Giant Grouper. This is our 3rd liveabord and they will be our first choice next year.

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!

Perfect cruise with a great team
These 4 days aboard Pawara were my first cruise. We had a Master cabin, it is very comfortable with its 4 portholes overlooking the bow and the sea. The bedding is good. We are quiet there. The whole Pawara team is smiling, taking care of them, whether for the meals (adapted to vegetarians), the briefings, the safety during the dives, the launches... For the dive sites, the visibility was very good (even though it was a full moon) and the coral landscapes are insane, not to mention the diversity of fish species and manta rays! I am so conquered, that as soon as I get back, I look for the new cruise... I recommend 2000%!

Great experience on Sawasdee Fasai
We booked on Pawara but were switched to its sister ship Sawasdee Fasai, which is slightly bigger but followed the same dive sites. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, good food, spacious facilities. Similan Islands were fun to dive and the ocean conditions were mostly calm.
