Dive Deck
The Dive-deck on Spirit of Niugini is thoughtfully laid out to provide spacious dressing and individual storage areas. The twin staircases that lead down to the diving platform are easy to negotiate and make your dive entry an ease.
Diving activities on board are supported by two electric Bauers air-compressors, 4500-psi air bank storage system and hyperfiltration system producing grade “D” breathing air with 4 fill hoses and two 4.70 meters R.I.Bs with 40 H.P outboards. Nitrox, through a DNAx system (32% 02Mix), is available as an option to qualified divers.
At the end of each dive, divers are treated with hot towels. Four fresh water showers and a head are conveniently located on the dive deck and dive platform.
Sumptous Cuisine
In addition to three full meals each day that features either a buffet or a set dinner, snacks and refreshments are available throughout the day. Our chefs serve up a wide variety of international dishes, with a bias towards Thai, oriental and seafood delicacies. Upon prior request, we can also cater for any special dietary requirements. Freshly brewed coffee, tea and softdrinks are available free of charge 24 hours a day.
Something for Non-divers
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.
Insurance and Emergencies
Spirit of Niugni staff is certified to carry out first-aid treatment and the vessel carries comprehensive first-aid facilities including DAN approved oxygen kits. SSB radio, cellular and satellite telephone systems ensure the vessel is in permanent contact with mainland emergency service.
All divers are, however, recommended to take up their diving and emergency evacuation insurances.
