Night dive

The Night Dive specialty course at Portobelis Crete offers a distinct opportunity to explore the underwater realm after sunset. This PADI and IDEA certified specialty typically involves two dives, allowing participants to observe nocturnal marine life and experience familiar dive sites from a new perspective. While specific dive site details are best confirmed directly with the center, night dives generally focus on shallower, accessible locations suitable for the conditions. The course emphasizes proper techniques for navigating and communicating in low visibility, ensuring a safe and engaging experience.

Crete's waters provide a fascinating environment for night diving. Visibility can vary, but the absence of sunlight often reveals creatures that remain hidden during the day. Divers can expect to encounter different species of fish, crustaceans, and possibly even cephalopods. The water temperature in Crete fluctuates seasonally, so checking current conditions is advisable for appropriate thermal protection. Portobelis Crete, operating in Greece, offers instruction in German, Greek, English, and Italian, catering to a diverse international clientele. Their commitment to diver education is reflected in their affiliation with major certifying agencies.
