Black Water Night Dives are all about looking for the small and obscure. We do various types of Black Water dives in various areas of the Strait depending on the weather and currents.Most dives you will be on or around a sandy reef, seeing what our lights attract during the dive, sometimes we may choose to use a hangline in deep water with the lights and see what we can find.


“Black Water Night Dive Weeks” will follow the similar format as our old “Night Safaris” in 2009 – 2012, where we do more night dives than day dives. Expect to be tired, have strange meal times and not drink very much alcohol!
“Occasionally we see nothing, sometimes we see a lot. Rarely we see everything.”

Whilst we can arrange Black Water experiences in any moon phase, we feel that these will be the most fruitful periods.
