PADI NIGHT DIVER COURSE IN MALTA

No matter how often you dive a site during the day, diving it at night brings out a whole new dimension to what you see. Learn to prepare, plan and execute night dives safely and open up this fascinating side to the undersea world. Observe creatures that you would not normally see during daylight hours, and those that you think you know well often behave completely differently after dark.

Please note: a minimum of 2 divers is required to run this course.
