About

Glow Night Diving (also named Fluorescence diving, fluoro diving, or disco diving). When glow diving, special UV flashlights and lens filters your mask to enhance the stunning colors and unbelievable beauty of the underwater world. All of the critters and corals that you swam past earlier will be worth a second look as some glow bright green orange, blue, and pink.

Fluorescence light absorbs high-energy light and re-emits it as low-energy light. This is different from phosphorescence light which has the capability to store light and re-emit it over a longer period of time.

This special type of diving requires a diver to be comfortable with night diving and have skills that are needed for such dives. While the glow illuminates the surrounding area and all the divers have flashlights, there are still many safety concerns that divers need to be prepared for before jumping in. Talk to us about the PADI or SDI Night Diving specialty certification course.
