Aboard NAI'A
The liveaboard NAI'A provides guests with all the comforts and more of a quality land-based location - but with far superior diving and a new view every day.
Designed and built in Holland by the world’s finest steel ship craftsmen, NAI’A is 120ft long and 30ft wide with nine passenger staterooms and room for 14 crew. A solid expeditionary ship, she has the range and stability to sail the far reaches of the Pacific and has travelled from her base in Fiji to Vanuatu and New Caledonia, Tonga, Samoa, Tuvalu, Funafuti and the Phoenix Islands in Kiribati.
NAI'A has accommodation for 18 passengers in 9 air-conditioned staterooms with private ensuite heads. All the staterooms were entirely rebuilt in 2010 and are larger than those on most dive vessels with plenty of stowage for gear. They are bright, airy, and comfortable and have both 110v and 220v power.
After each dive you can rinse your camera gear in our two large fresh water dip tanks, then stow and service it in the adjacent camera room where compressed air is at your fingertips for cleaning and drying parts.

Manta rays to mantis shrimp, dolphins to dartfish, voracious sharks to vibrant soft corals: NAI’A delivers sights to satisfy the most saturated scuba diver.
The core of the NAI'A family is her Fijian crew. On each charter, you'll be cared for by fourteen of the friendliest and most able sailors anywhere.
“I'm sure that it's very difficult for the Nai'a establishment to solve this thorny situation. But, be assured that we, your Nai'a family in a small way, are sympathetic. We realize that the reason we love your trips is that you spend what it takes for a quality voyage. That's why we come back. And that's why we plonk down $10K to sail with you. We know it's worth it.”
