Course outline
For the purpose of training, night is considered any time between sunset and sunrise. The Night Diver course includes three open water training dives.
The purpose of the PADI Night Diver specialty course is to familiarize divers
with the skills, knowledge, planning, organization, procedures, techniques, problems,
hazards and enjoyment of diving at night.
This course is perfect to complete onboard a liveaboard trip where night dives are one of the best parts of the trip. On a night dive you will encounter marine life that you will not see in the day and familiar dive sites take on a whole new character.
