The clocks are turning back this month.....which means the thrilling night diving season is officially here! ๐ŸŒ™๐Ÿคฟ

If youโ€™ve never dived in the dark, youโ€™re missing out on an entirely different underwater universe ๐Ÿ‘€ Under the beam of your torch, local dive sites come alive with active hunting predators, feeding corals, sleeping fish, and curious squid ๐Ÿฆ‘

To help you get out there safely and unguided, we're launching our SSI Night & Limited Visibility Specialty Course - dates are available throughout October & November off our beautiful local shorelines ๐Ÿ˜

What You'll Learn:
๐Ÿ”ฆEssential equipment setups and torch safety
๐Ÿ”ฆUnderwater communication and light-signalling in total darkness
๐Ÿ”ฆNavigation and orientation techniques for low visibility
๐Ÿ”ฆEmergency procedures and self-sufficiency at night

How It Works:
๐Ÿ–คComplete your online theory at your own pace from home.
๐Ÿ–คJoin us for 2 Open Water training dives.

Full scuba gear hire is included if neededโ€”you'll just need to bring your own primary and backup torches! Once certified, you'll be fully qualified to join our regular night dives as an independent buddy team.
