Diversion Dive Travel - Products | Liveaboards | PNG

Spirit of Niugini was conceived and built to meet the needs of a serious diver who demands a superior level of accommodation and lifestyle. She has been specifically designed for tropical living with air-conditioned and open-air lounges and a sun deck for guests to enjoy the fresh air of the tropical seas. A great deal of attention to details went into the design and construction of the staterooms and living areas to ensure that those on board enjoy a fine style of living.

Spirit of Niugini offers a variety of itineraries in Papua New Guinea, seasonally designed to offer the best available diving conditions at various times of the year. Excursions are available in the Milne Bay area, the Kimbe Bay and around Rabaul.

The main lounge on the main deck is fully air-conditioned and is fitted with large panoramic windows. The lounge serves as the vessel living room, theater and dining- room. A complete "home entertainment" center is also available with the latest movies.

The upper deck houses the wheelhouse and a second air-conditioned lounge that serves as a photography station and a library. The covered open-air area occasionally functions as an alfresco dinning room with barbecue facilities. The forward open-air sitting area serves as a sun-bathing platform and is the perfect place to watch the sun goes down into the ocean blue.

Apart from a full day of diving there are many after dive activities for both divers and non-divers to enjoy ranging from exploring uninhabited islands, sea kayaking to just making the most of a restful afternoon on a quiet beach. Though catering for the serious divers, the Spirit of Niugini can also provide a wonderful holiday for the whole family.
