Comments	This was our second visit and everything was as awesome as we remembered. The cabin accommodations are great; food is fantastically tasty and plentiful; and the diving blows you away (literally - when the currents run strong). This is definitely not a trip for relatively inexperienced divers. Besides handling strong currents, you need to have excellent buoyancy control, as well as keep your wits about you to handle changing conditions. The current cruise directors, Chad and Vanessa, complement each other well in their strengths and personalities. Their pre-dive briefings were accompanied by great maps of the sites, as well as being very detailed. You knew when you hit the water almost exactly what to expect (and where). They were always very aware of the divers they were responsible for, and offered help when needed, or pointed out rare or endemic creatures. The staff, however, are what makes a trip on the Nai'a so special. All of them know each guest's name and preferences (as well as camera!) within one day. They are ALWAYS cheerful and willing to help in anyway possible. We recognized quite a few from our first trip 4 years ago. This loyalty speaks volumes about the character of the organization.
