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. 😉

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!

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 experience
I had an incredible liveaboard experience on Pawara. The diving was world-class, the food was consistently delicious, and the staff were wonderfully kind and attentive. Our dive guide Pong made sure that we had incredible dives and helped us spot some of the rarer species around the dive sites. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort and adventure combined.

the first experience of liveaboard was very satisfied!
It's probably because of my first experience, but I enjoyed a lot. Food never get better, I liked it much more than the restaurants in phuket! All staffs are very friendly and so nice. I will definitely recomment pawara liveaboard to others!
