About the course
As the sun sets, you gear up, secure your mask and bite down on your regulator. With a deep breath, you step off the boat and slip beneath the surface into the underwater night.
You may have explored a site many times before, but everything changes after dark. Under the beam of your dive light a whole new world awakens – colours change, nocturnal creatures emerge and the atmosphere becomes beautifully surreal. Night diving introduces you to a different cast of marine life and lets you see your favourite sites from a fresh, exciting perspective.
