Exquisite diving and Fijian experience
We had a wonderful experience with the NAI’A crew during our 10 day trip in September 2025. The crew is extremely attentive to everyone needs and expectations, the boat is big and very well designed to accommodate divers, the dives were diverse and beautiful. The food is absolutely delicious. The NAI’A crew delivered a real Fijian experience from the heart and we loved it

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.
