Night Diver Specialty
Discover a Whole New Underwater World After Dark
When the sun goes down, the underwater world transforms. Familiar dive sites become completely new environments as nocturnal marine life emerges, colors appear differently under your dive light, and the excitement of exploring in the dark adds a whole new dimension to diving.
The PADI Night Diver Specialty Course teaches you the skills and confidence needed to safely plan and conduct night dives while experiencing the unique beauty and mystery that can only be found after sunset.
