The setting sun does not have to mean that the possibilities for diving are over for the day. Although many divers believe that at night, just like on land, there is not much to see, in fact, the opposite is true. In many locations, the underwater life is much more active at night time than during the daylight hours. Under the cover of the night, many creatures, including Moray Eels and Lobsters to name but a few, go in search of prey. In addition, you are likely to notice a lot more details at night, because you will focus on what you see in the beam of your dive lamp torch. When diving at a dive site where you thought that you had seen everything, you will have a new and interesting experience.

In the IAHD 'Night Diver' specialty course, you will learn the techniques required to enable you to enjoy diving long after the sun has set, in a safe and easy manner, with the use of an appropriate dive torch, as well as the techniques required for diving in reduced visibility. Upon successful completion of the course, you will become a certified IAHD Night Diver.’
