Comments	Late June is dead of winter. Air temps were generally mild to warm, but there were times I was very happy to have a fleece jacket after diving. Very little rain, but lots of clouds. Seas 3 to 5 feet some days, other days dead flat. Diving is from 2 RIB skiffs. After dive, driver takes your BCD, then you have to haul yourself over the gunnel (with an assist from the driver if necessary. The skiffs had excellent retractable dive ladders for divers whose size or medical condition required it, but in a heavy swell a metal ladder is scary. The Nai'a itself is extremely comfortable, and has only a very mild and slow roll in heavy seas. Cabins are some of the best I've seen on a liveaboard. Food is outstanding. The crew are uniformly skilled, cheerful, and efficient. Soft corals are lush and gorgeous. Lots of critters, exotic fish. Visit to a small village was very interesting and lots of fun. Well worth the cost and the travel.
