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.
