NAI'A - OCEANIC DISCOVERY AND CONSERVATION

NAI'A is an eco-diving destination driven by four principles: Partnership, Presentation, Participation and Protection

For in-depth details, please see Eco-Toursim and NAI'A

In an effort to provide a meaningful and enjoyable eco-tourism experience, NAI'A pursues these projects:

Ocean Temperature Monitoring at Depth - we set and retrieve recorders and deliver data to the scientist

Tonga Humpback Whale Expedition - whale watching alongside whale research (surface and under)

Coral Reef Monitoring - divers can assist cruise director or guest scientists in tracking reef health

Coral Reef Baseline Surveys - guest scientists lead surveys on board and/or use ship's marine database

Primal Ocean Project, Phoenix Islands - diving discovery and scientific research expeditions to isolated, Kiribati archipelago

We endeavor to educate and enrich our diving guests by:

Offering slide seminars or video screenings on local marine life or conservation issues
Visiting remote villages for casual cultural exchanges and traditional ceremonies
Encouraging exploratory dives on regular trips or hosting special discovery trips to uncharted territories
