PADI Night Diver Theory Online

The underwater world changes as day creatures retire & nocturnal organisms emerge. If you've wondered what happens underwater after the sun goes down, enrol in the PADI Night Diver Specialty course.

Description

The thought of dipping below the surface at night seems mysterious, yet so alluring. Although you’ve been scuba diving at a site many times before, at night you drop into a whole new world and watch it come to life under the glow of your dive light.

The scene changes as day creatures retire and nocturnal organisms emerge. If you’ve wondered what happens underwater after the sun goes down, sign up for the PADI Night Diver Specialty course.

PADI (Junior) Open Water Divers or higher, who are at least 12 years old, can enrol in the Night Diver specialty course.

Academic

Scuba diving at night teaches you to pay attention to details you may overlook during the day. You’ll learn:

• Light handling and communication techniques.
• Entering, exiting and navigating in the dark.
• Identifying how plants and animals differ or change behaviour at night.

The first dive of this PADI Specialty Diver course may credit as an Adventure Dive toward your Advanced Open Water Diver certification – ask your instructor about earning credit.

Available Languages

Equipment

Along with your basic scuba equipment, you’ll need a primary dive light and want to have a backup light, too.

Getting Started

Read and watch a video about night diving, then interact with knowledge checks in preparation for meeting with your PADI Instructor to schedule your three-night dives.
