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.

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 gear was kept orderly while lounge and dining area were kept clean and tidy..

My First Liveaboard : Excellent
Seasick for the first 24hours, the monsoon did not retreat as scheduled :-) Dives well paced and widely distributed. Casual and enthusiastic dive masters and boat crew. Absolutely repeatable cruise.
