Tiata
Boat
By combining traditional concepts with modern technology, functionality, and comfort, Tiata provides the ideal platform from which you can explore Papua New Guinea; a marine environment containing one of the richest and most diverse ecosystems on this planet. The Tiata philosophy is one that prioritizes your comfort while offering you the opportunity to experience a luxurious adventure.
The Tiata was designed and built to a recipe rather than a price. The water level dive deck allows effortless access to the dive while being unobtrusive. The five twin share cabins are all equipped with vanity units and silent adjustable air conditioners. On board systems installed on Tiata ensure that your adventure is enjoyed in total comfort and safety. Active gyro controlled stabilizer systems and passive extended boom stabilizers (flopper-stoppers) provide maximum stability while underway or at anchor. Engine room soundproofing reduces machine noise pollution to a mere hum.
The biodiversity of Papua New Guinea’s marine eco-systems makes her waters a world-renowned dive destination. Offering superlative mangrove, reef, wall and wreck diving it is little wonder that Tiata enjoys the company of many return guests coming to dive the environs of Milne bay and Kavieng with Tiata.
Ultimately, Tiata is a luxury motor yacht that offers a small group of friends, family or individuals the experience and adventure of a lifetime in the waters of Papua New Guinea.
Amenities
Magnificent craftsmanship and elegance adorn the Tiata crafted from stem to stern of Papua New Guinean timbers. The interior is ordained with polished cedars and rose woods, all embellished with stainless steel and brass fittings, while the decks are of inlaid beech wood.
The TIATA can accommodate ten guests in five twin share cabins. Although the least amount of time will be spent in your cabin it is an area where you are able to cherish your peace and privacy in total comfort.
All cabins are placed forward in the vessel. Their design together with superb engine room and generator soundproofing allows for a very quiet environment. Each cabin features a silent and adjustable air conditioner, quality mattresses, and reading lights. To supplement the ambiance, the polished rose wood theme is continued throughout all of the accommodation. Skylights or windows permit natural light to further illuminate your cabin. Further amenities include a vanity area, 240v outlet (Australian fitting), writing desk, and low voltage lights with dimmer switches.
Tiata provides ample space to relax. From the lounge chairs on the covered top deck you can enjoy the stunning island scenery, read a book or just snooze away. For the sun lovers, the white beach wood foredeck is the perfect place to pitch a towel or deck chair and soak up the New Guinea sun
Tiata is a shutterbug’s dream, featuring 12 camera lockers with 240v/110v charging stations, CD/Tape, Multi-system monitor and video player, E6 Processing, JOBO ATL 1500 automatic processor, light table, and Kodak slide projector.
All meals aboard the Tiata are served buffet style and can be enjoyed either in the comfort of the air-conditioned lounge or alfresco on the covered aft deck rose wood dining table. The cuisine ranges from European, Asian via Californian to Melanesian influences. Each trip, fresh produce is flown in directly from the capital Port Moresby while seafood and fish are either caught from the vessel or purchased, along with supplemental vegetables, from local villagers. Soft drinks, coffee, tea, juices, and beers are always at your disposal, as well as a selection of quality wines.
Diving
The dive deck is where much of the action on board the Tiata takes place. Its design allows easy and comfortable access to and from the water. Situated below and aft of the main deck level, the dive deck keeps your personal dive equipment, weights and tanks easily accessible and tidy.
As the dive deck is at water level, two steps followed by a stride give you direct access to Papua New Guinea's underwater world. Centrally placed ladders allow for multiple and simultaneous entries and exits without congestion. Alternatively, Tiata's 15ft custom-built rigid hull inflatable tender will deliver you to and from the dive deck. Dive deck amenities include a choice of various sized steel and aluminum tanks, custom built camera rinse bins, fresh water showers, and dry dive deck towels.
The spectacular diving of Papua New Guinea is enhanced when diving with Tiata. The freedom to dive within your own limits, as well as the assistance and enthusiasm of our experienced crew, are what make the Tiata diving experience something very unique.
Tiata operates mainly in the environs of Milne Bay and Kavieng although adventures can and have been designed throughout Papua New Guinea’s waters. Rising from depths of 3000 feet or more to island peaks of over 1000 feet, the topography of Milne bay is simply breath taking. The rainforest-covered mountains are spectacular and seascapes stunning. Milne Bay is biodiversity itself; muck, wreck, reef and blue water habitats all within only a few hours travel of each other. Milne bay can provide blue water pelagic interaction in the morning and the opportunity to pursue bizarre creatures on volcanic sand in the afternoon.
Kavieng is a small town nestled in the equatorial waters of northern New Ireland. Surrounded by hundreds of small islands covered with native rainforest and coconut plantations Kavieng is truly a tropical paradise. Most of the islands are low and are part of a maze that separates New Ireland and New Hanover creating hundreds of channels and passages. Due to the influence of the strong equatorial currents that flow between the islands, these channels and passages are abound with invertebrate life and teeming with pelagic and reef fish. Although Kavieng is known for its exhilarating diving it is also endowed with some wonderful macro opportunities and historical Second World War wrecks.
General
With Papua New Guinea being situated between the latitudes 1-12 degrees south and hence very close to the equator, the sea temperatures are comfortable and remain relatively constant at 26-30 degrees Celsius or 78-86 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year.
Tiata features charters which are devised for small groups that can decide on their own focus and area of operation - you can dictate the destination, focus and trip length. This is truly a tailored adventure that will prove to be a very unique voyage.
Also offered are Tiata Expeditions, which are given a distinct focus and provide like-minded individuals with the opportunity to join us for a remarkable experience. These expeditions are generally ten nights long and have a specific focus such as muck diving, wreck diving, reef/blue water and land visits to name a few.
