The magic of diving in the dawn hours
Why dawn is the best time to dive and what you'll see at first light underwater.
Dawn under water is a spiritual experience for those who wake up early and find a world that begins to wake up with them.
Why is dawn the optimal diving time
At dawn the air and water are calm before the boats and tourists arrive. Nocturnal fish have not yet hidden, and diurnal fish are just beginning their activity.
What you will see at dawn
Bottom Feathers
Octopuses, crabs and sea snakes are still out before burrowing as the day begins.
Morning fish movement
Schools of refuge fish move at the moment of transition between night and day, a scene that you do not find at any other time.
Underwater lighting
In the first moments after dawn, golden sunlight penetrates the water, illuminating the reefs in an unprecedented way.
Preparing for dawn diving
- Sleep early the night before
- Prepare your equipment at night and don't leave it until the morning
- Drink water before diving even if you do not feel thirsty
Whoever precedes the sun to the sea sees what no one else sees. Dawn with the sea is a priceless gift.
