About This Trip

The reef transforms after dark. Learn to plan and lead night dives, use torches and light signals, and navigate in the dark over three adventure dives — meeting the nocturnal creatures that only come out at night: Spanish dancers, hunting lionfish, octopus and more.

More About This Trip

Diving the same reef at night feels like visiting a completely different place. The PADI Night Diver specialty teaches you to plan and enjoy night dives safely: entering and exiting in the dark, using a primary and backup torch, communicating with light signals, navigating by natural references, and staying together as a team. Over three night dives on Marsa Alam's calm reefs you meet the creatures that only appear after dark — hunting lionfish and moray eels, sleeping parrotfish in their mucus cocoons, octopus, Spanish dancers and bioluminescent plankton. Prerequisite: (Junior) Open Water Diver.
