PADI Night Diver Course, Belize

$150
Package Details

The underwater world changes as day creatures retire & nocturnal organisms emerge. If you've wondered what happens underwater after the sun goes down, enroll in the PADI Night Diver Specialty course.


Overview

The thought of dipping below the surface at night seems mysterious, yet so alluring. Although you’ve been scuba diving at a site many times before, at night you drop into a whole new world and watch it come to life under the glow of your dive light. The scene changes as day creatures retire and nocturnal organisms emerge. If you’ve wondered what happens underwater after the sun goes down, sign up for the PADI Night Diver Course.

PADI (Junior) Open Water Divers or higher, who are at least 12 years old, can enroll in the Night Diver specialty course.

Academic

Scuba diving at night teaches you to focus on what you can see in your light’s beam, on controlling your buoyancy by feel, on staying with your buddy and on paying attention to details you may overlook during the day. During three night dives, you’ll practice:

  • Light handling and communication techniques.
  • Entering, exiting and navigating in the dark.
  • Identifying how plants and animals differ or change behavior at night.

You may be able to get college credit for the Search and Recovery course – ask your instructor.

Also, the first dive of this PADI Specialty Diver course may credit as an Adventure Dive toward your Advanced Open Water Diver certification – ask your instructor about earning credit.


Equipment

Along with your basic scuba equipment, you’ll need a primary dive light and want to have a backup light, too. Your PADI Instructor or local dive center staff may suggest other equipment options, such as wearing more exposure protection to stay comfortable after dark.

Getting Started

Visit your local PADI Dive Center and Resort to enroll in the course and get a PADI Night Diver Crew-Pak that includes your manual and video. By studying before class, you’ll be better prepared for the thrill of exploring the underwater world at night.

You’re going to enjoy the service at Neptune’s Cove! We appreciate the opportunity to help you design your Belizean Adventure! You are going to have such an amazing time here in Ambergris Caye! Neptune’s Cove is a full service PADI Dive Shop specializing in daily diving, SCUBA instruction, snorkeling, fishing and inland tours. We offer many services for our guests to make their stay a lot easier and smoother. We also help with reservations, flights, golf carts rentals and choosing the best local restaurants in town.

We prefer merely small groups for all of our tours. Our diving is done on the largest barrier reef in the western hemisphere, the beauty of our reef is unrivaled. For the local dives we take groups of 6 or less and 4 max for instruction. This gives us the lowest ratios on the island.

After a half day of fishing our guests are eager to eat what they have caught, so our team has a list of local restaurants that can cook the catch of day for small fees.

In the mainland you can go on adventures like exploring the Maya temples, cave tubing, and hiking our jungles. The jungles in the mainland are full of flora and fauna which are waiting to be explored.

On our site are some of the resorts we recommend, ranging from hostels to 5 stars. Some are within walking distance from the shop and some aren’t. We offer complimentary transportation to and from our shop for guests staying within town limits. For guests staying far away from us, we have golf carts available for renting to make their transportation easier.

We have also received the Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence in 2017 and 2018. Click here to have the time of your life!
