Comments	We enjoyed the trip so much we (and another passenger) rearranged our travel plans and booked the following cruise when we learned space was available. Don't know what the crew could have done to make the entire experience more enjoyable. Every request was accommodated as much as possible. Dives were rearranged as needed to take advantage of the best possible weather/current conditions. Night dives were always available even if only one person wanted to go. The skiff drivers were very responsive to pick you up shortly after surfacing. The cruise director, Sonia Goggel kept everything running perfectly and presented very informative mini-seminars during the morning surface intervals on reef life. The dive briefings were very comprehensive. Captain John, Sonia and the entire crew made you feel as though we were sharing with their family; consistent with Fijian people in general. Considering her age we were amazed at what good condition the boat was in. As sailors and yacht owners, we could only hope our two-year-old yacht had as little “head” odor, diesel smell and lack of typical “boat smell” as the Nai’a. Accommodations were extremely comfortable. The salon was gracefully transformed after every meal to a comfortable social / educational area. This was our first live-aboard and we are concerned that the high level of this start leaves room for disappointment on other vessels. We feel we received more than our money’s worth and then some. The diving was spectacular and the service superb. We would have stayed for a third cruise if it had been possible! Thank you to all on the Nai'a!
