A lovely cruise on Pawara

We had a really lovely cruise on Pawara. The boat is efficient and nice but the best part are the staff and the dives. Michie is a great leader on the boat and everything goes flawless and he is also a very competent guide and instructor. I had dives also with Philippe and Pom and they are both great guides! My wife had a muscolar problem and they all help her not losing too much dives and she was able to complete advanced course. All the staff is really great and friendly and the food is very good and abundant. I liked a lot the dives, especially Richelieu Rock spot. Very reccomended!

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.

Dive guides were experienced, friendly, but also very observant and on top of things at all times. They kept schedules tight while keeping everyone in a happy mood.. Boat crew : deckhands, cooks and captain were all super friendly and helpful towards divers at all times, and the food was excellent, in good quantity at all times.. Boat was clean, kept clean. Dive gear was kept orderly while lounge and dining area were kept clean and tidy..

I was allowed to do my AOWD certification during the Pawara liveaboard (5 days) and what can I say? I LOVED IT!What were the highlights?- the dives around the Smilian Islands- the entire board staff with their wonderfully friendly and motivated mood- the fantastic food- the dive at Richelieu Rock - these schools of fish, what a blast! 🥹- everything I was able to learn through and from my instructor Mickey and thus expand my diving skills extremelyTHANK YOU for your commitment and the wonderful time!
