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. 😉

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.

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.

Diving with Pawara and you’ll be happy.
We had a standardcabin quite next to the engine room, which made it a bit noisy. A person who had problems with falling asleep might need to consider this while choosing the best cabin for itself. - the food was amazing, I tried and eat something of everything. As someone who usually goes through a quite disciplined diet - no chance for skipping something. - the divesites were nice and we had some good luck on what we saw - the boat staff in general was super nice, friendly, and helpful - super big plus - micky, the diveoperator and a dive guide I want to give special credit: his humour, awareness , detailed explanation of divesites and positive energy, willing to help every diver in every experience class really was (as a client) just awesome. He defined the nice vibe the whole trip had. Thanks @ the whole boat-team and guides for a wonderful experience! 5/5 recommendation for choosing Pawara

Exceeded every expectation
Trip of a lifetime, would go again in a heartbeat. The master suite assured a comfortable escape after enjoying 4 full dives, definitely worth the upgrade. The water pressure out performed our expectations and we slept like the dead. The dive outings were well planned in advance and the groups were well divided based on experience and dive times.Pong was an excellent DM and we felt safe and well paced, even in currents. Micky kept us entertained with his briefings and the crew couldn’t have been more helpful or positive. The Thai food was excellent and plentiful. The Pawara was a fantastic value. The Similan islands are a dive destination not to miss.

Birthday made memorable!
It was my second liveaboard, and I must say it made me fall more in love with LOB diving. Even though the waters were choppy owing to a cyclone, the LOB crew made sure that we had a great time nonetheless.
