Diving Course: Night Diver

Diving Course: Night Diver

The Night Diver course is designed for divers who want to safely and confidently explore the underwater world at night.

During this course, students will discover how marine life changes after sunset while learning night navigation techniques, underwater communication using lights, safety procedures, and buoyancy control in low-visibility conditions.

Night diving offers a completely different experience, where many marine species emerge from their hiding places and the ocean reveals a unique and fascinating environment.

 

Requirements for the Night Diver Course:

Hold an Open Water Scuba Diver certification or equivalent.

Be at least 15 years old.

For ages 10 to 14, we offer the Junior Specialty Diver program.

 

Medical Considerations:

You should not practice scuba diving if you suffer from diabetes, heart disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, are pregnant, or have any cardiopulmonary condition.

During this interactive session, we will review the key theoretical concepts, including:

  1. Safe planning for night dives.
  2. Specialized equipment: dive lights, markers, and backup tools.
  3. Navigation and orientation techniques in darkness.
  4. Light communication and hand signal systems.
  5. Observing and understanding nocturnal marine life behavior.

 

We will also hold a Q&A and planning session to coordinate the logistics for the ocean dives, transportation, gear preparation, dive sites, and safety protocols.

  • Day 2 – Playas del Coco, Guanacaste

You’ll complete three open water dives, each focusing on developing specific deep diving skills:

  1. Deep dive (24–30 meters / 80–100 feet): Practice depth control, time management, and buoyancy while applying deep diving safety procedures.
  2. Advanced buoyancy dive: Fine-tune your breathing, body position, and weighting to achieve perfect neutral buoyancy.
  3. Night dive: Using your dive light, you’ll explore the underwater world illuminated by beams of light, observe nocturnal marine life, and practice navigation and communication in limited visibility.
