Comments	[None]This trip was outstanding. Great diving , wonderful boat, superb food and great weather. The local staff met our every need, valet diving at its best. Big Mo was outstanding at finding big and little things for us and made us all comfortable in the water and helpful afterwards identifying all that we saw. Kori, our skiff driver (who many weeks is also a dive master) was very safety conscious and lots of fun! The cruise directors Chad and Vanessa were very well organized and on top of things. Very laid back week of diving as the boat wasn't full. Travel mostly at night, have to get used to the expected engine noise and anchor lowering and raising, but we slept well, had good weather so the travel was smooth. Up to 5 dives a day if you wanted. Good briefings and wide variety of dive sites. The reefs are amazing despite Cyclone Winston a year ago. Some famous sites are not recovered yet, but plenty of great ones, do not miss FIji. The reefs at Namena were by far the best. Great boat set up with big dive deck for gearing up right next to camera room. Short walk back to the skiffs with all gear already loaded; help from local staff to board the skiffs, great dive support at the back of the boat. Good salon in which to eat, rest, work if need be, with opening windows for fresh air so not chilled to the max with AC! This is pure eat, dive, eat , dive repeat schedule. Village visit was heartwarming and genuine. Singing and guitars with the staff at night if you are so inclined. Nice upper deck to rest and relax on in the sun if you want to skip a dive or on one of the days without 5 dives. Good food variety with local cuisine and more "American" choices if desired. Lots of flexibility in food. Best of what Fiji diving is about is what Nai'a does. We'd do this trip again. Check out their Tonga whale shark trips also.
