Even your local dive site offers a whole new adventure by moonlight! To take
advantage of this extraordinary specialty, you'll require a PADI Open Water Diver
or Junior Open Water Diver certification (or equivalent) and be at least 12 years
old.
During your program you'll go on three open water dives. You'll learn to prepare
night dive activities and develop your knowledge and techniques for night diving.
Some of the topics covered include:
- planning, organization, procedures, techniques, problems and hazards of night
diving
- proper procedures for buoyancy control, navigation and communication
- use of dive lights and buddy-system techniques
- disorientation and emergency procedures
- orientation to nocturnal aquatic life
The elective Night Dive conducted during the PADI Adventures In Diving program
may count toward this specialty at the discretion
of the instructor.
