Scuba diving with the MV Spirit of Niugini

The heart of any dive liveaboard is the dive deck, and the Spirit of Niugini has a well equipped one! Indeed, considering that the dive deck is well organized, and the small number of divers aboard, it leaves plenty of space for everyone! Plus, camera tables are in a dry area for divers that need the space to work.

Moreover, access to the water is made easy by two sets of steps leading to a large dive/swim platform at water level. Divers can just step into the water when they are ready. The professional, and experienced, crew of the Spirit of Niugini is ready to take you on an diving adventure!
