West Coast Divers

Pawara Liveaboard to Similan Islands. Mickey and the whole team on board were absolutely amazing and could not have been more helpful. Dive briefings and safety were spot on and the diving sites on the itinerary were pretty stunning. Our dive guide Pong was excellent at pointing out different fish and features on each of the dives. The boat boys were super helpful in getting us kitted up and when returning to the boat. Food on board was probably the best I’ve ever experienced on a liveaboard. Overall an excellent trip and can thoroughly recommend for experienced divers. Although possible to complete as open water I would recommend being advanced and nitrox trained as the diving is potentially quite challenging.

My wife and I had an amazing first liveaboard experience on the Pawara with West Coast Divers. We were relatively new divers with less than 15 dives and AOW PADI certification. Micky was our dive guide. He was incredible. We learned a lot and had a ton of fun at the same time. The food was amazing. The room was very comfortable. We were in a basic queen room. The equipment we rented was very good quality and well maintained. The dive sites were amazing, especially Richelieu. We saw sharks, a sea horse, a huge octopus, and tons of fish of all kinds. The transport to and from the ship was spot on. The entire experience from start to finish was 10/10. Highly recommend the Pawara.

We had an amazing time on the MV Pawara (5D/4N). The food was excellent, the dive sites were beautiful, and the instructors were outstanding. The staff was really nice and welcoming, and the atmosphere on board felt warm and friendly, making us feel right at home. A big thank you to Mickey for leading such a great team, and to the dive instructors, Papa and Pong, for making every dive a fantastic experience. Truly an unforgettable trip!
