Explore a New Underwater World
With the Night Diver/Night and Limited Visibility Specialty Diver Course
2-3 Days, 2-3 Dives
Why would I want to take this course?
Night dives aren’t for everyone, but if you love them, you REALLY love them! They’re a whole different experience, where you can see plethora of life that’s different than what you’ll see during the day—including lobster, crab, shrimp, eels, octopi, jellyfish, and more.
Night dives provide us with a beautiful glimpse into bioluminescent life. And if there is low light from a new moon or an obscured moon, we can see the “strings of pearls” which are unique to the Bay Islands.
