PADI Night Diver Specialty Course

OADC/PADI Certification Courses

Night Diver Specialty

You can dive the same spot day and night, and you will have two totally different experiences. There is still so much to see after the sun goes down. Night diving is very exhilarating, but often a scary thought for those who never tried it. During your night dives you will open a door to a whole different world. You learn to choose the right lights, master the skills of dive planning and night time orientation. We offer this specialty on our overnight trips.

(2 dives)  Price $195  

Prerequisite: Open Water Diver Certification

Why OADC/PADI Night Diver?

When you go night diving you'll see a whole new world. Even your local dive site takes on a new personality at night, as many underwater creatures and plant life (different from those you see during the day) are active at night.

What do I need to start?

  • OADC/PADI Open Water Diver or Junior Open Water Diver certification (or qualifying certification from another organization)
  • Minimum age: 12 years old

What will I do?

You'll learn night dive planning, organization, procedures, techniques and potential problems. You'll also learn how to control your buoyancy, navigate and communicate at night. Since many of the plants and animals you'll see are different, you'll also get an introduction to nocturnal aquatic life.

How long will it take?

  • Recommended Course Hours: 12
  • Minimum Open Water Training: three dives over one day

What will I need?

  • Night-Pak, which includes manual, video and log insert

Where can I go from here?

Your Adventures In Diving Night Adventure Dive may count towards the Night Diver Specialty course at instructor discretion. In addition, the Night Diver Specialty course counts as one of five Specialty courses required for your Master Scuba Diver certification.
