Night Diving & Limited Visibility Course

For Certified Divers

When the sun goes down, the magic begins! Diving at night or in limited visibility is a unique and peaceful experience that reveals the ocean’s best-kept secrets. Watch the reef transform as nocturnal creatures, like octopuses, lobsters, and sleeping parrotfish, come out to play under your torchlight. The SSI Night Diving and Limited Visibility specialty provides you with the skills and knowledge to navigate safely in the dark, use specialized lighting equipment, and communicate effectively with your buddy when visibility is low. At Scorpio Madeira, we guide you through this silent world, ensuring you feel calm and confident while witnessing the incredible bioluminescence and nocturnal life of our house reef.
