SDI Night/Limited Visibility
Many divers find that night diving is their favorite type of diving. As with all specialty diving applications, procedures are different than those associated with open water diving. The purpose of this course is to acquaint the open water diver with the procedures, techniques, and potential hazards associated with diving at night, or in limited visibility. Becoming familiar with the use of dive lights, and night diving techniques such as navigation, buddy system procedures, communications, buoyancy control, and interacting with nocturnal aquatic life, the diver can safely enjoy night diving.

What’s in it for you?
Night diving is an excellent way to add some variety to your diving, either here or in the tropics. Many species of animals are more active at night, and frequently in New England we actually find it easier to see than we do in the daytime! Of course, this requires specialzied training on different kinds of diving lights, their use as signaling devices, the buddy system and navigation in low visibility. Divers who have completed this course will be ready to safely and comfortably dive at night in New England- or anywhere else for that matter.
Where:
The SDI Night/Limited Visibility class consists of self paced e-learning, an in-person lecture at United Divers, and an open water dive, typically offered on the North Shore of Boston. As this is weather dependent, your instructor will select an appropriate site depending on the conditions. This is typically Rockport.
When:
We typically offer Night / Limited Visibility courses in the late Summer and early Fall. For details, see our course calendar!
How Much:
The SDI Computer Nitrox course costs $195, all inclusive.
