As the sun sets, you don your
dive gear, slip on your mask and bite down on your
regulator. A deep breath and you step off the boat – into
the underwater night. Although you’ve seen this reef many
times before, this time you drop into a whole new world and
watch it come to life under the glow of your dive light.
The adventure, thrill and
excitement of night diving can be yours when you complete
your PADI Night Diver Specialty course. You learn about
night dive planning, equipment and navigation. You practice
these on three night dives, plus introduce yourself to the
whole new cast of critters that comes out after the sun goes
down.
