Night Diving Information

  • Advanced Open Water Diver certification minimum required due to the complexity and potential hazards of night diving. Night Diver specialty certification strongly recommended. Recent diving experience within 3 months required for safety and comfort in low-visibility conditions.

  • Primary underwater light mandatory, backup light required, and emergency whistle recommended. We provide tank lights and surface marker lights. Dive computer essential for monitoring depth and time in dark conditions. All lighting equipment subject to pre-dive inspection for functionality.

  • Nocturnal species include hunting moray eels, Spanish dancers, lobsters, crabs, octopi, and various fish species that feed after dark. Bioluminescent plankton may be visible, and turtle sleeping behavior can be observed. Specific sightings depend on season, location, and environmental conditions.

Night diving requires more conservative diving practices and heightened awareness of surroundings.
