PADI Night Diver Course

How would you like to explore your favorite dive site at night and see the changes that occur when the lights go out? Have ever wondered which animals come out at night?

Night diving is a great way to explore your favorite dive site when the sun goes down. Its also a great way to enjoy diving "after" hours, when you get home from work. Diving does not have to be confined to daylight hours. Now you can expand your diving possibilities and learn more about the underwater environment.

Course Highlights

During the PADI Night Diver Course you will learn the proper way of how to plan and execute night dives. You will use main lights and back-up lights while diving, diver identification lights, shore or boat exit and directional lights, underwater navigation at night and how to signal your diver buddy underwater and communicate effectively even though its dark.

The course consists of one lecture and three open water dives for certification. During these dives you will be putting into practice all the principles you learned in the lecture.
