Specialty Course: Night & Limited Visibility Diving
Awaken the Explorer in You
Regardless of whether it's day or night, diving in limited visibility conditions can be a real challenge and adventure. However, just because the visibility may be limited doesn't mean the opportunities have to be.
Night diving is a natural extension of a diver's daytime activities. Nocturnal creatures glowing under a dive light create a spectacular, surreal combination. Comfort in limited visibility conditions extends your range of activities, opening up new dive sites to explore in your own locale or on a distant trip. The course textbook and video are packed with practical information about planning and conducting limited visibility dives for fun, adventure and exploration.
You will learn the basics of:
- Different kinds of limited visibility and night diving conditions.
- The selection, use, and maintenance of primary and secondary dive lights, strobe and surface lights.
- The use of underwater lines for night or limited visibility diving.
- Compasses and their use for limited visibility diving.
- Locating the boat or shore.
