MV Pawara

Diving holiday in amazing destinations!

MV Pawara is a steel-hulled vessel designed for liveaboard use, which was renovated in 2023 to a slightly more modern version.

The vessel's 35-meter long and 7-meter wide stabilized hull provides a stable ride. The Thai-style decorated common areas on the main and sun decks provide comfortable relaxation between dives.

The ship has 13 air-conditioned and comfortable cabins, which can accommodate a total of 26 guests. The ship has all the necessary amenities, from televisions to media players.

Each trip is 4 days and 4 nights long. Departure is from Tablamu Pier in Khao Lak, where you will be transported by minivan. Dives start at the Similan Islands, where colorful sloping reefs make diving enjoyable for divers of all levels.

MV Pawara then continues north to Koh Tachai and Thailand's best dive site, Richelieu Rock. The final day is spent at Koh Bon before returning to Tablamu.

According to Thailand's marine park regulations, large vessels are not allowed to drop divers at dive sites to protect the corals from propeller currents. Divers are transported to the sites by rubber dinghy.

Welcome to enjoy the beautiful nature and great diving!
