The PADI Night Diver Course
As the sun sets, you don your dive
gear, slip on your scuba mask and bite down on your dive
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 Fun Part
Introduce
yourself to the whole new cast of critters that comes out after the sun
goes down. See your favorite dive sites from a whole new perspective at
night.
What You Learn
- Night dive planning, organization, procedures, techniques and potential problems
- How to control your buoyancy at night
- Entries, exits and underwater navigation at night
- Nocturnal aquatic life, since many of the plants and animals you'll see are different
The Scuba Gear You Use
You will use the basic scuba diving equipment with a dive light
A primary dive light is required. A backup dive light is
recommended.
All gear can be purchased at Aquatic Safaris at a student discount.
