experience known in Scuba Diving, "Night Diving"
and find out why so many Scuba Divers love it so much.
Why
PADI Night Diver?
When
you go night diving you'll see a whole new world. Even your
local dive site takes on a new personality at night, as
many underwater creatures and plant life (different from
those you see during the day) are active at night.
Typically
this course can be completed in two days; it includes two
night dives. During this course you will gain practical
skills and expert knowledge for night diving.
Skills and techniques that are taught during the PADI Night
Diver course: You'll learn night dive planning, organization,
procedures, techniques and potential problems. You'll also
learn how to control your buoyancy, navigate and communicate
at night. Since many of the plants and animals you'll see
are different, you'll also get an introduction to nocturnal
aquatic life and see a whole different personality on marine
life and how it interacts with you as you explore the Ocean.
Safety:
In addition to the obvious safety precautions you should
take on any dive, night diving requires some additional
care due to the increased risk involved in a low illumination
environment.
1.
) Check your flashlight batteries
2. ) Ensure you have a backup light
3. ) Use descent lines whenever possible
4. ) In low-visibility conditions, maintain contact with
your buddy or use a buddy line
when returning to your
boat, make sure that the light you are following is coming
from the boat and not
the moon.
With out learning
how to night dive you will miss half of what is to be seen
and half of your diving fun.
