Comments	[None] The other Nai’a reviews adequately explain the operation of the boat and tenders, how the food is good, and the crew professional. I don’t need to expound on that. I would like to say, though, that this is probably my favorite liveaboard to date, because of the professionalism and fun attitude of the crew, how the diving staff treat you as an adult, and the ease of camera use (plenty of facility in the camera area). Though we had a variety of experiential levels, experts (four of our party had BIG camera rigs) to novices, the diving staff will accommodate everyone according to their needs and desires. Other than on the current dives, if you want to focus on photography, you can dive your own profile. No herding photographers along or being slaved to the needs of a buddy. If you want to dive for 70 minutes, no problem. Or, if you have health or confidence issues, as some of our members did, the dive staff will pair you with a divemaster and/or monitor your progress. I do think that this boat is better for experienced divers, preferably rescue qualified, so that the diver has a sense of presence when minor issues arise: you should be able to rescue yourself. Cruise Directors Chad and Vanessa were energetic, helpful, approachable, thoroughly accepting of varied personalities/physical issues/equipment problems and enthusiastic with a capital E. Fiji is not Indonesia. There were plenty of sharks, though, and beautiful reef life.
