MV Pawara

MV Pawara - Thailand Liveaboards - Dive Discovery Thailand

The MV Pawara is 32m or 105ft in length, and built of steel making her one of the largest liveaboards plying the western Indian Ocean. She takes a total of 20 divers in 10 air conditioned cabins on regular departures, but some of her cabins are large enough to accommodate more than this on special request. She has three types of cabins: standard, deluxe and master, and both types are air conditioned, both twin and double bed combinations depending on the cabin.

Her Highlights

Probably the boat's finest features are three: One, her huge interior saloon which seats everyone comfortably and is completely air-conditioned; two, she has a 'breakfast nook' and briefing room right next to the dive deck so you can duck in for a quick bite or a cup of tea without having to walk upstairs to another deck; three, her huge dive deck and dive platform making getting in and out of the water a breeze.

The Saloon

The saloon is generously appointed and has comfortable seats centered around the huge flat screen TV situated on a well organized bookshelf with a large library. The saloon is designed so that small groups can gather comfortably for private chats, yet still at the same time seat all passengers.
