Consistently positive and recommendable
Overall, extremely friendly and helpful crew. The Guids respond to wishes and put a lot of effort into the underwater search for what you want to see.The highlight of the diving was Richelieu Rock, which we found to be the nicer dive site compared to Similan Island.

Amazing time on Pawara
Great time all around. The food was amazing, the crew as well. The dive sites were beautiful and our guide Mickey was full of energy and love for the ocean. The vibes on the boat were great, loads of fun A big shout-out to the Thai crew who made our life so easy, even reminding us to drink water before a dive and waiting with hot towels after sunset/night dives.

Amazing crew and great diving
We visited Similan National Park onboard of Pawara and enjoyed every moment of the trip including fantastic dives. The crew of Pawara is catering to all guest needs and the food is outstanding. The diving operation is smooth and all dive guides are taking care of safety of the guests and high quality dives. We had great time!

A liveaboard done right!!
Just finished a 4 night trip on the Pawara and I genuinely cannot recommend it enough. I was nervous that 4 nights on the boat would be too much but I can assure you that by the end you will not be ready to leave. From the moment we stepped on board, the crew set the tone - professional, attentive and incredibly warm. You could feel that they truly care about the guests and the ocean. What stood out most to me was how clearly they prioritized environmental respect. Briefings reinforced protecting the reef and preserving the dive sites, and not in a preachy way, but as a diver that meant a lot. The diving itself was fantastic, but honestly, the energy on deck made the whole trip special. Between dives there was so much laughter, good music and a great vibe. It was a great balance of safety, structure and pure fun! Four nights flew by! I left with amazing memories, new dive buddies, and a lot of appreciation for a crew that clearly loves what they do. Would absolutely do it again. Special shoutout to my dive guides Mickey and Pong!
