The nocturnal world changes as day creatures retire and nocturnal organisms emerge.
If you’ve wondered what happens underwater after the sun goes down, enrol in the PADI Night Diver Specialty course. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to see bioluminescent algae that makes the water glow blue or a Giant Pacific Octopus out for a late night snack!
Once you sign up for the course, your instructor will be in touch!
