Wiky wiky !! Those words Micky said in the morning to wake us up. What very good memories for this 5 day cruise.The cabins are clean and well laid out.We gain 2kg because it's so good! The team is at the TOP 👌, bravo !! We spent the week with Alex who offered us some very nice dives. Briefings before each dive.

Excellent First Liveaboard
This was our first liveaboard, and it’s going to be hard to top. The diving in the Similans was incredible — every site felt unique and full of life. Mickey and the entire crew went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of the whole time. We were always well fed, well rested, and genuinely excited for every single dive. An unforgettable experience.

A lovely cruise on Pawara
We had a really lovely cruise on Pawara. The boat is efficient and nice but the best part are the staff and the dives. Michie is a great leader on the boat and everything goes flawless and he is also a very competent guide and instructor. I had dives also with Philippe and Pom and they are both great guides! My wife had a muscolar problem and they all help her not losing too much dives and she was able to complete advanced course. All the staff is really great and friendly and the food is very good and abundant. I liked a lot the dives, especially Richelieu Rock spot. Very reccomended!

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!
