Finz Night Dive Details:
- Important: All trips include our experienced dive master, that is in the water with our divers.
- One of our favorite ways to experience scuba diving is during the night. Our well-lit boat will take you to an entirely new world. At night everything changes, corals open up, fish lose their fear of people, colors change, and the entire experience becomes magical. We bring our own light source into the water which brings out colors you wouldn't normally see. Many underwater creatures are nocturnal and only forage for food at night so the entire ecosystem changes. Some of the most memorable dives we have are made after the sun goes down.
- On night dives we provide lights if you need them and our experienced dive guides will lead you to the most amazing sites. We even pack a little surprise into each dive.
- Most of our divers choose the reef for the night experience but if you are advanced open water certified or higher we offer a night dive on our flagship wreck, The Vandenberg! This is an experience like no other. The current moves water across the many structures on the wreck and lights it up with the natural bioluminescent. It is impossible to describe the beauty of this dive. When the crew of Finz wants to go out for a night dive we almost always choose the Vandenberg as our destination. Come experience it for yourself.
- If you're ready to try a new way to dive or already know how amazing night diving can be, then book now to experience Finz Night Dive.
- Finz Night Dive is a 2 tank dive and lasts approximately 4 hours.
