The Bottom Line Night dives are fun if you are properly trained and prepared for them. If you think diving is fun, you should try doing a night dive. Night dives are both beautiful and exciting.
Night diving takes a little more planning, training, and equipment than a regular day dive does.
For one thing - it is dark. Even on a bright, moonlit night - there is very little light that filters down 60 feet or so into the ocean. This means you need a good diving flashlight. A compass is also essential because some landmarks may not be visible at night. You want to make sure you know which way land is when you surface.
