Night Diver
Diving After Dark: Why limit your diving to daylight hours when you can experience the wonder of what happens under water once the sun goes down? You can see:
- Sleeping fish.
- Coral feeding.
- A rainbow of colors that look entirely different from what you are used to seeing during daylight hours.
Diving at night, however, entails more than just grabbing a light and going. Special planning, preparation, equipment and communication skills are needed — among others. Fortunately, the Night Diver course can provide you with these skills in a very short period of time.
