Where do night dives happen?

On sheltered, gentle-current Nusa reefs rather than the famous drift sites, for safe entries and exits in the dark.

What might I encounter?

Moray eels on the hunt, crustaceans, sleeping reef fish and glowing bioluminescence are common.

Is special equipment needed?

Dive lights are provided; a personal backup torch is a sensible addition for any night diver.
