PADI NIGHT DIVER SCUBA DIVING COURSE CAPE TOWN - INTRODUCTION

As the sun sets on your favourite scuba dive site, it magically changes into a wondrous new world beaming with different life and things to see. Night diving allows you to see the underwater world in a new light and re-explore a new site in very different conditions.

Just as above water, there are different animals that come out at night, while others go to sleep. Come closer to sleeping fish and see the nocturnal crayfish scavenge the area for food and see a whole new array of animals.

PADI NIGHT DIVER SCUBA DIVING COURSE – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  1. Isn’t it scary in the dark?

    Not at all. We all go with our own torches and it opens up a whole new world of interesting critters to see which is very exciting to us.
  2. Why would I want to dive in the dark?

    There are different fish that come out at night, which means that even if you have dived the same site before, there will be new things that you will see.
