Spirit of Niugini
Boat
Spirit of Niugini is a 115’ steel-hulled motor yacht conceived and built to meet the needs of the serious diver who demands a higher level of accommodation. Specifically designed for tropical living, the Spirit of Niugini is equipped with air-conditioning in all staterooms and enclosed common areas, as well as beautiful open-air lounges and a sun deck for guests to enjoy the fresh air of the tropical seas. The tasteful appointments and decor of staterooms and living areas ensure a superior level of comfort and luxury. Twin 1250 HP Cummins engines effortlessly provides for flexible and extensive charter itineraries, allowing divers to fully experience some of Papua New Guinea’s finest diving in comfort and safety.
Accommodations
Spirit of Niugini has accommodation for 16 passengers in 8 staterooms. Two double and two twin cabins on the main deck, 2 twin cabins on the forward lower deck and 2 more twin cabins on the aft lower deck, all with private head and shower. All rooms are fitted with standard queen or twin sized beds, carpeted and tastefully furnished. Facilities also include piped-in music, individually controlled air-conditioning in each stateroom, bathrobe, reading lights, wardrobe, hair-dryer and plenty of storage space.
Situated on the main deck and fitted with large panoramic windows, the main lounge serves as the vessel living room, theater (thanks to a complete home entertainment center), and dining room. On the upper deck, a second air-conditioned lounge serves as a photography station and library, while the covered open-air lounge serves as an alfresco dining room with barbecue facilities.
In addition to three full meals that feature either a buffet or a set dinner, snacks and refreshments are available throughout the day. The chefs serve up a wide variety of international dishes, with a bias towards Thai, oriental, and seafood delicacies. With prior notice, special dietary requirements can be accommodated as well. Freshly brewed coffee, tea, and soft drinks are available free of charge, 24 hours a day.
Activities
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 to the serious diver, the Spirit of Niugini can also provide a wonderful holiday for the whole family.
Diving
Spirit of Niugini has 8 to 11 night itineraries to Milne Bay and Kimbe Bay, offering 4 - 5 dives per day. Diving is done from the deck when moored and from one of the two 15-foot support inflatables. The dive deck 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 a breeze. Nitrox, through a DNAx system (32% O2mix), is available as an option to qualified divers.
Spirit of Niugini is dedicated to underwater photographers and videographers. Charging stations with both 220v and 110v outlets are located within the photography lounge and digital photographic equipment rental is also available upon request.
At the end of each dive, divers can take advantage of the four fresh water showers and head conveniently located on the dive deck and dive platform. And for that touch of luxury, hot towels are provided as well.
General
The Spirit of Niugini is fully covered by general liability and personal accident insurance. The 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 services.
