The underwater world changes as day creatures retire & nocturnal organisms emerge. What happens underwater when the sun goes down?
The thought of dipping below the surface at night seems mysterious, yet so alluring. Scuba diving during the day at a site is not the same as diving at night. A whole new world emerges after dark. Watch it come to life under the glow of a dive light. The scene changes as day creatures retire and nocturnal organisms emerge.
PADI (Junior) Open Water Divers or higher, who are at least 12 years old, can enroll in the Night Diver specialty course.
Whatever it is, to scuba dive with confidence at depths down to 40 meters/130 feet, students should take the PADI Deep Diver Specialty course.
Academic
During two scuba dives, students will learn how to:
Determine the exact weight a diver needs, so the diver is not too light or too heavy
Trim the weight system and scuba gear so a diver is perfectly balanced in the water
Streamline to save energy, use air more efficiently and move more smoothly through the water
Hover effortlessly in any position — vertical or horizontal
Equipment
Along with basic scuba equipment, students will need a primary dive light and want to have a backup light, too.
When we meet to discuss the course we can determine other equipment options, such as wearing more exposure protection to stay comfortable after dark.
To talk with our PADI Course Director, contact Michael Casey by calling (267) 257-9782.
The first dive of this PADI Specialty Diver course may credit as an Adventure Dive toward a student’s Advanced Open Water Diver certification. Ask the instructor about earning credit.
