Comments The Nai'a has a reputation as one of the best liveaboards out there. It lived up to our expectations. Great cruise directors and crew all work together to ensure a fantastic experience. We covered a lot of ground at night (while we were sleeping) enabling a trip with a wide variety of diving and sites. Highly recommended! (A note about mantas...while we did NOT see squadrons, we saw lots of individual mantas, and one one dive we were treated to a 35 minutes show of 5 mantas gracefully feeding in a obviously plankton-rich current. Awesome!)

UW Photo Comments Nai'a has a great camera room. I would say it can nicely accommodate 10 separate camera stations. If the boat is full and everyone has a camera, it would be very crowded. We had 12 divers, most with cameras, and although everyone shared, evidently there was some discrepancy as to how many power outlets each station should be using.... (be nice people!!!).
