Why PADI Night Diver?
When you go night diving you'll see a whole new world. Even your local dive
site takes on a new personality at night, as many underwater creatures and plant
life (different from those you see during the day) are active at night.
Swanage Pier is a different world and a TAL club favourite for night
dives.
What do I need to start?
What will I do?
You'll learn night dive:
- Planning, organization,
- Procedures, techniques
- Potential problems.
- Navigate and communicate at
night.
- You'll also learn how to control your
buoyancy in the Dark
