The SSI Night Diving and Limited Visibility Specialty Program, This program provides the skills and concepts required to safely and comfortably dive at night or in limited visibility conditions. Some of the ocean’s most amazing creatures only come out at night, so your dive doesn’t have to end when the sun goes down.
You will learn how to enter and exit the water, use specialized equipment, and how to communicate and dive with a buddy at night or in limited visibility. You will earn the SSI Night Diving and Limited Visibility Specialty certification after completing this program.
Your dive adventure doesn’t have to end when the sun goes down, or if your only option for a dive site is a lake or quarry where visibility is limited by the clarity of the water.
Night diving allows you to see things you won’t see during the day. Most marine species hide during the bright daylight hours, only emerging once night has fallen to hunt.
Many corals also feed at night, turning the dark waters into a nocturnal garden lled with color. Earning your SSI Night and Limited Visibility certification give you access to an entirely new range of diving opportunities and experiences.
This kind of diving requires additional training and experience, from how to manage underwater lights to buddy team management. The SSI Night and Limited Visibility program provides in-depth information on the necessary equipment, skills, knowledge and experience required to safely dive with a buddy at night or in limited visibility environments.
