Fiji Liveaboards

Island Dancer II | Nai'a | Tui Tai

The best of Fiji's diving is available by liveaboards, and several of the best sites are only available with these extended excursions...

Island Dancer II

Throughout the week aboard the Island Dancer II, an intimate 10 passenger yacht, guests will depart Suva to explore the reefs, bommies and walls of Nigali Pass, Wakaya, Koro and Namenalala Islands. Known as the soft coral capital, the brilliant colors on display will dazzle even the most experienced divers and photographers. Drift dives with eagle rays, mantas, turtles, sharks and giant groupers are also on the itinerary.

Clownfish, pygmy seahorses, ornate ghost pipefish, and a multitude of nudibranchs bring smiles to every dive! With direct flights from several major cities worldwide, it is an easy destination to add to your dive log.

To top off the exiting diving and experience some of Fiji’s local culture, a visit to a Fijian village on one of the remote islands is arranged including a Kava ceremony and warrior dance. All guests are required to wear a traditional sulu (sarong or wrap) so either bring your own or we will gladly provide one for you!

The Island Dancer II appeals to those discriminating divers who prefer a smaller group and is perfectly suited for Fiji and the diving itinerary. All indoor areas are air-conditioned and each of the guest cabins feature ensuite facilities. The beautifully appointed salon has ample room for divers to view their photos and videos or to enjoy a movie on the entertainment system. The sundeck features covered and uncovered lounging and is a perfect place to relax with a book during surface intervals.

The Nai'a

Accommodations:
The Nai'a is a 120 ft motor sailer that boasts eight private suites with private bath and air-conditioning. The main deck salon spans the full thirty foot beam of the ship and houses the dining area and a lounge which doubles as a theater for viewing slides and videos. Forward of the lounge is the dive deck, a huge area sheltered from the sun but open to the sea breezes. A dedicated camera room where camera gear can be serviced, charged and stowed during the voyage, is located adjacent to the dive deck.

Diving:
Rather than operate out of a single port such as Suva, the Nai'a is a true expeditionary ship. She cruises from Lautoka in the West to a variety of islands and reefs to the North and East to show you a variety of marine life. One week and ten day cruises can be scheduled.

Underway, the Nai'a carries two large Naiad rigid inflatables on her upper boat deck, which serves as a sun deck when the skiffs are launched. The reefs are extensive, requiring quality skiffs to explore safely and comfortably. Each of the two specially designed skiffs can carry ten divers and their gear easily and efficiently, which becomes critical when you are far from the beaten track.

A typical ten day voyage, beginning and ending in Lautoka, would include many of the following areas in more-or-less the following order: Nananu-i-ra, Vatu-i-ra, E-6, Namena, Makogai, Wakaya, and Gau.
