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.

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. 😉

Overall a seamless, well organized, run operation, with well planned dives and all in great comfort!
I have been fortunate to be on a few Liveaboards and this trip exceeded my initial expectation. The crew, the focus on safety, attention to detail and of course the diving were all exceptional and good value for money. Vincent runs a tight ship and will have you miss his wakey wakey routine! Fred who was the dive instructor in our group was a gem and Neptune underwater! Rishab and Pong instructors from the other groups were the octopus whispererand Zen master respectively were lovely to be around. Personally would have no hesitation recommending Pawara or taking another trip on the boat. The chef and kitchen will keep ensure your belly lines grow inspite of all the diving :) Thank you for a lovely time and the only wish was that this trip was longer.
