PADI Night Diving Instructor Specialty Course
Become a Night Diver Specialty Instructor on Koh Tao
Night diving is a fascinating experience for scuba divers with an opportunity to see a whole different marine environment at your favourite dive site.
Coral reefs are vibrant and alive at night, a cacophony of popping, squeaking, crackling and grating noise and looking strikingly colorful under the beam of your torch light when conditions are fair.
Night diving also offers inquisitive scuba divers a natural phenomenon called Bioluminescence.
During the day colorful reef fish and other plant eating marine life are most active, however, when the sun goes down plant eaters sleep and are replaced by nocturnal carnivores.
Learn to Teach our PADI Night Diver Specialty Course
Just the way you were fascinated and excited at the prospect of diving at night, so will your students be.
Once student divers have experienced it for the first time during their Advanced Open Water course, they will be excited about the prospect of taking the Night diver specialty course.
During the PADI Night Specialty Instructor course you will learn how to teach correct techniques to safely dive and navigate at night whilst avoiding disturbing delicate marine life.
The night dive specialty course philosophy is to focus on seeing in the dark things you miss seeing, or that appear different during daytime dives.
