About this trip

Night diving here is less about distance and more about attention. We stay shallow, we move slowly, and we let the torch do the work, because the animals that own this reef after sunset are small, strange and easy to swim straight past.

It is a single tank and a short ride out, so it works well on a day when you have already dived with us in the morning. We do ask that you have recent experience before doing it in the dark.

How the day runs

  1. 1

    Late afternoon

    Meet at the marina

    A short briefing while there is still light, gear check, and a look at your torch together before we leave the dock.

  2. 2

    At dusk

    Into the water

    We enter as the light goes. Shallow, slow, and close together, with two divemasters keeping the group tight.

  3. 3

    One tank

    The night shift

    Octopus out hunting, lobster walking in the open, parrotfish asleep in their mucus cocoons, and coral polyps feeding. The reef you saw this morning behaves like a different place.

  4. 4

    Evening

    Back to the dock

    A short ride back, gear rinsed, and you are off the boat in good time for dinner.
