See the Great Barrier Reef after sunset with the SSI Night Diving specialty in Cairns, where overnight liveaboards let you dive the reef as it shifts to its nocturnal rhythm. Through the required night dives you learn light use, after-dark navigation and how to spot crustaceans, hunting reef sharks and cuttlefish at outer sites like Flynn and Milln Reef. It shows you a different side of reef diving.
The SSI Night Diving specialty is delivered via SSI's digital platform and is built around night training dives. As with PADI, a Cairns liveaboard works well because you are moored over the reef when darkness falls, and dives can credit toward continuing SSI education.
Night dives run from Cairns overnight liveaboards moored over outer reef sites such as Flynn and Milln Reef, where the reef comes alive after dark with hunting reef sharks, crustaceans and cuttlefish in calm high-season conditions.
