Mission Statement
The thought of dipping below the surface at night seems mysterious, yet so alluring. Although you’ve been scuba diving at a site many times before, at night you drop into a whole new world and watch it come to life under the glow of your dive light. The scene changes as day creatures retire and nocturnal organisms emerge. If you’ve wondered what happens underwater after the sun goes down, sign up for the Night Diver Specialty course.

Can Open Water Divers night dive? Yes, but proper training will make your first night dive more enjoyable. You’ll learn how to navigate in the dark, where the most interesting creatures hang out, and gain night diving tips from your instructor.
Practice underwater navigation at night and learn how to find entry and exit points in the dark. Your instructor will share night diving tips, communicate teach you how to stay in contact with your buddy, and avoid disorientation.
The Night Diver course comprises 3 open water dives; these are conducted over at least 2 days. On this course you will learn how to prepare for night diving and will develop your dive knowledge and practical skills.
During the course you will learn:
