Having great visibility and daylight is great. However, it’s foolish to limit your diving to times and places where it exists.
The world underwater as you know it in daylight becomes totally different at night. You will often see lobsters, octopi, eels, shrimp, crabs, bio-luminescence and more. Colors are brighter at night. Here are some of the things we cover during our Night/Limited Visibility course:
- The use of a buddy line between is often helpful.
- The planning process is more critical than for regular dives.
- Sticking with the dive as planned is crucial.
- Know where your equipment is at all times.
- Be able to set up your equipment in the relative dark.
- Comfort and good buoyancy control are paramount.
- Most any dive can become a limited visibility dive when/if another diver kicks up the sand or mud.
Our spring is uniquely equipped to make this course interesting and fun. The result is a realistic simulation of actual limited visibility/night conditions.
