Night Diver

You've probably seen what seems like an infinite variety of marine life while diving during the daytime...now come see how the underwater world comes alive at night! Reefs nearly do a complete turnover in sea life soon after the sun sets. As new creatures emerge, see the colors explode, and the marine life come alive.  Observe nocturnal creatures that don't come out during the day and look for many daytime critters that may be sleeping!

The Night Diver Course consists of one classroom session about 2 hours long, followed by just 3 open water dives. It is that simple. You'll learn to prepare and plan for night .  Most of all, you'll be prepared to appreciate the spectacular visual benefits of night diving.

Some of the topics covered in Night Diver Manual are:

• Planning, organization, procedures, techniques, and hazards of night dives
• Proper procedures for buoyancy control, navigation and communication
• Use of dive lights and buddy-system techniques

At the discretion of the instructor, an elective Night Dive conducted during the Adventures In Diving program (Adventure Diver or Advanced Open Water) may count toward requirements for this specialty .
