See the reef after dark with the PADI Night Diver specialty out of Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz Island. Using a torch on the shallow rock reefs and sandy gardens around Santa Cruz, you watch sleeping turtles, hunting sea lions and the night shift of reef life emerge. You earn the PADI Night Diver certification on completion.
The PADI Night Diver specialty covers night-dive planning, light communication and nocturnal navigation, and counts toward the Master Scuba Diver rating. It also satisfies the night-dive adventure option within Advanced Open Water.
Night dives run from Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz at sheltered shallow sites with minimal current, where rock reefs and the sandy garden-eel flats come alive after dark. Calmer, near-shore sites are chosen for safety and to improve the chance of seeing resting turtles and hunting sea lions.
