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.

Enjoyed it immensely!! Everything perfect
Richelieu rock was really great. The atmosphere on board was also very nice. I got my advanced certification, which is recommended if you do this liveaboard. The dive sites are quite deep.

Bad experience turned around to a good dive trip by well organized team
Due to the bad weather we could't leave the pier, so have to say it was service from your side to offer us we could stay on the boat but still get our money back if we still couldn't leave the next day, lucky we got away and had some dives even though it wasn't the best dive sites in Similan but we did dive so all is good. Fantastic team onboard everyone from boar staff to dive master they made all the difference. Thanks very much and I will come back for sure. Hope you all get a great season. Morten

An Excellent Experience
Firstly, the boat is really well managed by Vincent and everything is run incredibly smoothly. The food is plentiful and of a very high standard. A lot of care is taken in finding mooring sites that enable everyone to get a good nights sleep and internet coverage where possible. The complete dive setup is carried out to make it as easy as possible for guests and they quickly spot when someone needs some help and provide it immediately. When in the water, the ability of the guides to try and avoid the crowds, provide good finds and generally ensure the dive goes well and maximise the time in the water is superb. Once surfaced, the pick up is done quickly and with minimum hassle. You have to use a dingy but that is due to National Park rules and nothing to do with the boat. Once back on the liveaboard, every effort is made to ensure everyone has a good time and the guides mix well with guests. A special mention to the dive guide Stefan who you will not meet a nicer person. Extremely caring and always ready to share a joke at his or your expense! I would net hesitate to recommend Pawara and it’s crew to anyone!
