 The
perfect live-aboard
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.

Sites
Spirit of Niugini offers a variety of itineraries in Papua

Vessel
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.
 Meals
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

and seafood delicacies. Upon prior request, we can also
