Night Diver
NIGHT DIVER
As the sun sets, you don your dive gear, slip on your mask and bite down on your regulator. A deep breath and you step off the boat – into the underwater night. Although you´ve seen this reef many times before, this time you drop into a whole new world and watch it come to life under the glow of your dive light. Your local dive site takes on a new personality at night, as many underwater creatures and plant life are active at night.

Important Note
For safety, all PADI students must complete a brief medical prior to commencing a course. If none of the listed conditions apply, you sign the form and you’re ready to start. If any of them apply to you, as a safety precaution, a physician must assess the condition as it relates to diving and sign a medical form that confirms that you’re fit to dive, dated within the last 12 months.
