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!

Excellent
Highly recommend for their liveaboard boat the MV PAWARA, had an excellent time on a 4 night 5 day dive to Similans and Richelieu Rock. We weren't experienced divers but our dive instructor Mickey was a blast and taught us very well. Food was 10/10 and onboard service impeccable.

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.
