NIGHT DIVER

The thought of dipping below the surface at night seems mysterious, yet so alluring.
Scuba diving at night teaches you to focus on what you can see in your light’s beam, controlling your buoyancy by feel, staying with your buddy and paying attention to details you may overlook during the day. The underwater world changes as day creatures retire & nocturnal organisms emerge.If you’ve wondered what happens underwater after the sun goes down, enroll in the PADI Night Diver Specialty course.

THE FUN PART

As the sun sets, you put on your dive gear, slip on your scuba mask and inhale through your dive regulator. A deep breath and you step off the jetty or boat – into the underwater night. Although you’ve been diving here many times before, this time you drop into a whole new world of mystery and watch it come to life under the glow of your dive light. Experience the mysterious nocturnal world and be introduced to critters and night feeders that have just awoken. Wrecks become a little more haunting in the absence of light and it is a real thrill to descend with your dive buddies into the black, amongst the alien like look of dive lights scanning the abyss.

WHAT YOU LEARN

During three night dives, you will practice and learn about:

  • Dive lights and night diving equipment
  • Night dive planning, organization, procedures, techniques and potential problems
  • How to control your buoyancy at night
  • Light handling and communication techniques.
  • Entering, exiting and navigating in the dark.
  • Identifying how nocturnal plants and animals differ
  • Examine behavioral changes of some species at night.

LEARNING MATERIALS

The course materials include the PADI Night Diver e-learning module, which is an important component of your new night diving adventure. Before class, you’ll learn about some of the main procedures and techniques used in night diving. Your instructor will review these techniques, and others specific to the diving environment, to build your confidence and competence. On your night dives, you’ll put the skills and techniques to use as you explore the nocturnal underwater world.

THE GEAR YOU USE

Each diver must have your own primary dive light, plus a back-up light. We have special packages available for registered students. Plus, you’ll need all your usual dive gear, and you may want to consider purchasing a tank light as well. These help you identify your buddy underwater or keep track of them, in the event of a light failure, while they switch to their back-up light.

PREREQUISITIES

Must be a PADI Open Water Diver or Junior Open Water Diver (or qualifying certification from another organization) and 12 years old.

YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE

The PADI Night Diver Speciality Certification counts toward the PADI Master Scuba Diver rating.

Perhaps pair this course with and improve your navigation skills with the PADI Underwater Navigator course. Get your buoyancy perfected with the PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy course. Or perhaps you would simply like to recognise all those mysterious night critters are on your dive with the AWARE Fish Identification course.

This is a first rate place to learn how to dive. Brad's team is well organized, experienced, enthusiastic...and nice people! They don't cut corners on the training but help you through it. And they make it fun. My final checkout dive was delayed by a family matter so a few weeks later Brad the owner took me though it one-on-one. You can't get more dedicated than that. After certifying I did my first mid-week dive at Gulliver's Lake and what a great way to gain experience when you start out. I'm looking forward to many years at Float N Flag and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn recreational diving.

Brad and the team at Float N Flag are some of the most enthusiastic and organized people we work with. As a dive destination, we see dozens of groups from around the world every season in Tobermory, ON. Brad is always professional, organized, and displaying a true passion for both the sport he loves and the business he runs. We would recommend Float N Flag without hesitation to new divers and experienced divers looking for a great group of people to dive with! Keep up the great work!!!

I recently attended the open water course with my 14 year old son. Rob was a fantastic instructor that took the time to ensure that all of the concepts and skills were understood and mastered. George also assisted in the pool and was kind enough to lend his spare mask to my son after his developed a leak. It is evident that Brad and Tammy run a very organized dive centre. The shop and classroom are clean and the logistics at the pool are well thought out. I highly recommend Float N' Flag Dive Centre.

Just completed open water course March 2018. Awesome experience. Instructors were fun and totally thorough on all skills. I wouldn't look to any other shop. Great value. Feel 100% confident about diving. Float N Flag has an awesome community and has tons of SCUBA events around Ontario and abroad.

Float n Flag is amazing with my Junior Open water divers. My son recently certified and they were very patient and provided lots of encouragement during his lessons when he was nervous. My daughter is excited about her upcoming certification and the staff share her passion for wanting to dive. I am thrilled with the service we receive and proud to call them my home shop.

I have always found Brad and his staff to be very friendly, knowledgeable and not intimidating to newer divers. They always have safety at the forefront but have a lot of fun as well. I just recently came back from my first boat diving holiday in Roatan run by Brad, and apart from being the only one bitten by bugs (not a fault of Float n Flag!), I had a wonderful time. Brad's enthusiasm for diving and underwater creatures is something he passes on to those who dive with him. Thank you so much Brad to you and your staff.

Brad and his team were very professional and knowledgeable; they made diving fun and exciting for a new learner. I was impressed with their schedule flexibility and how accommodating they were to my scheduling conflicts. The ratio of instructor to student was great and personal. Diving with Float n Flag felt like being part of a close community.
Sherry Du
Float n' Flag is a top notch dive centre. Brad is extremely safety-conscious and professional and instills these qualities in his dive masters. They go out of their way to ensure divers are comfortable in the water and have the skills required. We recently travelled with Float n' Flag and had an amazing experience. I was really impressed at the organization, thought and care that went into the entire trip experience.
