PADI Night Diver Specialty

See the world in a whole new light!

Like a brush on a black canvas, your light sweeps across the night reef, igniting a vibrant spectrum that somehow eluded you during the day. You pause, amazed by nature's endless palette; everywhere your light falls new hues burst forth. Suddenly you see something large near your. It's within touching distance...it's a fish you have never seen during daylight hours. You quickly lock your camera-finder on it and snap a picture. Your night dive has paid off.

While night diving sounds eerie, perhaps even a bit frightening to some divers, for others it is the first specialty they try. Night diving isn't difficult, and a few guidelines and procedures make night diving even more fun and safe. The PADI Night Diver specialty course teaches you these procedures and lets you practice with an instructor at hand.

There are many good reasons to don our SCUBA gear well after the sun goes down. To many divers, a night dive spells adventure and a chance to explore the unknown. They hope to discover things they wouldn't during the day, or they might be attracted to the challenge darkness brings to diving. Aquatic life brings another exciting attraction to diving at nigh - at sunset the night creatures emerge. By diving at night, you encounter a new set of organisms and a new set of behaviors.

Whatever your reasons are, sign up soon for the PADI Night Diver Course and take advantage of the new adventures found when diving in the dark.
