First class.
The crew of the Nai'a do everything well. The dive briefings, the guides and tender crews make a diving a pleasant exercise. The selection of dive sites suitable for the conditions is something they do well. The food and service is top notch. Dining with your fellow guests was a pleasure. The crew genuinely appear to enjoy entertaining guests at the Kava ceremonies and singing. Everyone played a part. The boat is in good shape. Every thing worked and if something wasn’t it was fixed. I was fortunate to have a cabin to myself. It was comfortable and had everything I required. The diving. Excellent. Would I do it again. Yes.
