Overall Rating

This was our second time on the Naia, and we enjoyed the trip a great deal.
 Every so often (this trip was the second time) the Naia goes to Vanuatu:
this year the second part of the trip was to New Caledonia (we left after
the first segment).  Everyone on the boat was fantastic and we enjoyed
having the cruise directors, Rob Barrell and a local expert (former dive
shop owner Kevin) on board.  Several of the dives were exploratory but we
were able to go to a number of well known sites.  Coral was very colorful
(some sites were comparable to Fiji) and there were numerous opportunities
for macro shots.  One of the highlights for the boat was diving the
President Coolidge, which went down about 100 yards from shore in WWII off
the island of Espiratu Santo (pretty close to where James Michener was
stationed).  The meals were wonderful (you select from 3 choices for each
meal every morning) and facilities are top notch.  The other traveler with
me is a snorkeler and also had a great time.  The only thing I'd bring with
me is a good reading light as the lights in the salon tend to be
challenging for reading (such a minor detail).  It was a wonderful trip.
Make sure to do land tours of the islands -- they are very interesting and
have many cultural features.
