The Deep Awakens

Blackwater diving takes place in a bottomless environment with zero ambient light. It requires excellent buoyancy control and spatial awareness to avoid drifting too deep or away from the light line. The Advanced or Night Diver certifications ensure you have the foundational skills for this environment.

It can be intimidating for the first few minutes, which is why our instructors strictly monitor the group. However, once you settle into the glow of the downline and start spotting the incredible microscopic life, the fear usually turns into sheer fascination.

We look for macro (very small) life. You might see larval forms of reef fish, transparent crustaceans, salps, comb jellies, swimming sea cucumbers, and paper nautilus. It is a macro photographer's dream.

This premium trip combines two spectacular night experiences. We do one dive at a reef site like Manta Point (where mantas are occasionally active at night) and a second dive suspended in the open ocean blackwater.

Yes, standard dive torches are included in your gear rental. We provide the high-powered downline lights that attract the marine life. If you have a professional photography rig with video lights, we highly recommend bringing it!
