PADI NIGHT DIVER
Discover a world that comes alive after dark
The Night Diver course is a specialty course for divers who want to learn how to dive safely and confidently after dark and discover a completely different side of the underwater world.
Even familiar dive sites look completely different at night. The beam of your dive light reveals details that remain hidden during the day, while many underwater creatures become active only after sunset.
The course combines online theory with three night dives in open water, during which you will learn proper communication and navigation, how to use a dive light effectively, and how to move safely underwater after dark.
