Night Diving
The world underwater as you know it in daylight becomes totally different at night. You can’t, however, just go bumbling around in the dark. Doing so puts yourself, your equipment and the environment at risk. You can also easily get lost.
The Night Diver course not only covers how to do so safely but also how to achieve maximum enjoyment in the process. This course generally takes just a single evening and two dives.

The world underwater as you know it in daylight becomes totally different at night. You will often see lobsters, octopi, eels, shrimp, crabs, bio-luminescence and more. Colors are brighter at night.
You can’t, however, just go bumbling around in the dark. Doing so puts yourself, your equipment and the environment at risk. You can also easily get lost.
