Night/Limited Visibility Diver Class | PADI
October 14 @ 18:00 - 23:00
$249.00
Night or Limited Visibility diving is one of our most often asked about classes; both how to get certified and "is it scary". To answer both questions, it's easy. Regardless of what body of water you dive in, aquatic life acts completely differently and come out (like our favorite, Octopus), feed using your lights (Tarpon), hang out on coral heads (Crab) or simply sleep. In addition, this course will teach you not only how to dive at night, but dive in limited visibility as well (quarries, lakes, etc are well known for having less than optimal visibility). Earning your certification prepares you for different diving conditions you may come across.
