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.

Super nice liveaboard trip
We had a great dive safari on board the Pawara. Richelieu Rock was the absolute highlight of the trip, but the other dive sites were also nice. We especially liked the calm and relaxed circumstances of the dive (generally not too much current, good visibility, 29 degrees water, easy entry and exit). Dive guide Mici was knowledgeable and friendly. She was willing to send people low on air up early so that the rest of us could stay down a little longer. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They even brought Christmas hats for everyone to wear during Christmas dinner, that included an amazing turkey! Good to know: if you’re over 1.75m, you can not stand up straight in the budget room. Beds were long enough and there was a lot of storage space. Overall a great experience!
