The thought of diving below the surface of the water at night feels mysterious, yet incredibly appealing. Even if you have completed countless dives at a particular location, at night you encounter a completely new world and watch it come alive under the beam of your dive light. The scenery changes as daytime creatures retreat and nocturnal organisms appear. If you have ever wondered what happens underwater after sunset, you should enroll in the PADI Night Diver Specialty course. The Night Diver Specialty course is open to PADI (Junior) Open Water Divers, or divers of a higher certification level who are at least 12 years old.
