Night diving: a completely different world

Site adminWednesday, 19 June 20245 views

Discover the magic of night diving and how the sea turns into a different world when the sun goes down.

Night diving is a unique experience that reveals completely different aspects of marine life that are not visible during the day.

What changes at night

Nocturnal marine creatures, such as octopuses, crabs, and shrimp, go out to hunt at night. Coral reefs spread their arms to catch marine plankton. Fluorescent substances in some organisms glow in the dark with amazing colors.

Additional equipment for night diving

Basic Flashlight
Choose a powerful flashlight of at least 1,000 lumens with a battery sufficient for twice the duration of your planned dive.

The spare lamp
is very necessary. Carry it on your body and not in a bag to ensure quick access to it.

Light buoy
Put a light buoy at the entry point into the water until you find your way back.

Night safety rules

  • Do not dive at night unless you are familiar with the location during the day
  • Make sure your partner knows the lamp signals to communicate
  • Always stay close to your partner and never separate
  • Tell someone at the beach your expected return time

Night diving is worth experiencing at least once in every diver's life.
