Organized very professionally, awesome trip
Overall experience was amazing. Beto did a great job with organizing. it was a tight schedule but we were able to get the most out of it. I am really surprised how professionally the tour was planned. We were 21 divers on board, we dived in waves and never had a problem. Our instructor was Angel, we had superb dives. Staff was very friendly, we did not have a single problem, it was a very positive and a lot of fun trip. Kit - chef was amazing. We explored islands before diving trip and the food on boat was better than any of the restaurants we have been to. i dived in Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Hawaii before. Dive sites in this trip were way better than any of my previous experiences. We have seen whalesharks and marine life was very alive, a lot of schools of fish and amazing landscape with sea fans, pinnacles. I rarely leave good reviews, but this one was 5 star in every aspect.

A well-rehearsed crew
The Pawara has a well-rehearsed crew that also spreads a good mood. Since the weather on my trip was a bit stormy, the course of the trip was changed a bit and also a dive was aborted due to an unexpectedly strong current. Safety comes first on the Pawara, I liked that. The highlight was certainly Richelieu Rock.

It was amazing! 🤩
The moment we left the trip, we wanted to get right back on the boat and do another trip. That’s how good it was! Vincent and the crew were awesome, they answered any concerns we had and were flexible with everyone’s needs on the boat. The amount of money you pay doesn’t equate to the level of comfort you get - the crew went out of their way to make every single day and dive super fun, enjoyable and relaxing for us. We are already making plans for our next trip which will be very soon 😎
