If
you’re already a certified diver you might like to consider diving at night!
Witness the mind blowing transformation of a coral reef during the night where
you’ll see many fish and critters that are active only during the dark. Each
night dive is unique and you can be sure to see something out of the usual on
most occasions. Sting rays are more active at night swimming out in the open
hunting for crabs and crustaceans to feast upon. Squids can be seen dancing and
flashing colors whilst attracted to the lights of the divers. Fish that are
active and evasive during the daylight are easily observed in close quarters as
they rest and sleep amongst the corals such as the Parrot Fish that cocoons
itself in its own saliva, an effective camoflage against predators. The large
Star Puffer fish rests out in the open undeterred by the curious diver often
with ramora, suckerfish, attached to their bodies. Coral themselves branch out
their polyps to trap and eat the micro organisms and plankton that are active
in the water.
A diver light will attract micro organisms such as worms and cryl which
emit light in strips and flashes via chemical reactions looking like a scene
from a science fiction movie? The dive light illuminates the true colors of the
corals and things you’re familiar with in the daylight can appear completely
different and more brilliant at night under a light,

is an experience not to be missed. If you’re not already familiar with diving
at night you will need some basic training in the right techniques and protocol
for safe night diving. Make a
