The PADI Night Diver specialty course offered by Scubasur provides certified divers with a unique opportunity to explore the underwater world after sunset. This specialty focuses on the specific techniques, procedures, and potential hazards associated with night diving, enabling you to experience marine life in a completely different light. Scubasur, located in the vibrant coastal areas of La Herradura and Almuñécar, facilitates this exciting specialty with three open water night dives.

Understanding the behavior of nocturnal marine creatures is a key component, offering a fascinating glimpse into the ocean's hidden activities.

Scubasur's experienced instructors will guide you through the planning and organization of night dives, ensuring safety protocols tailored for the dark are thoroughly understood. Key skills covered include selecting and using appropriate dive lights, navigating underwater in low-light environments, and managing potential emergencies. The thrill of descending into the dark water, illuminated only by your dive light, is an awe-inspiring experience that adds a new dimension to your diving adventures. This specialty allows you to see familiar dive sites in an entirely new and exciting way.

To enroll in the PADI Night Diver specialty course with Scubasur, you must hold a PADI Open Water Diver certification or equivalent.
