Go night diving and see the underwater world in a whole new light
a dive light.
Where can you go night diving? My general recommendation is that you dive in places that you are familiar and comfortable with.
And I advise that you stick to a night diving rule of thumb—to only night dive when conditions are good.
Conditions to avoid are heavy surf, heavy surge, strong currents, poor visibility and any overhead environments like caves, the insides of wrecks and super thick kelp canopies.
Again, when you are first plunging into night diving make sure you go with a seasoned night diver or instructor, and of course, thoroughly plan out your dive and prepare your equipment.
You can safely night dive from an easy-access shoreline or from a boat. One of my most favorite night diving experiences has been on a boat dive with Kona Coast Divers. Off the Kona coast of Hawaii there is a dive site called Garden Eel Cove that is a popular destination with dive boat operators on the big island. Kona Coast Divers can almost literally guarantee that you will see the most magnificent swooping Manta Rays when you come to this site.
Their trick is to place powerful lights on the ocean floor, which they turn on once the sun has gone down to attract plankton. As the plankton fully congregate around the lights, graceful black mantas swoop in out of the dark water to feed on them.
It is quite a spectacular site!
These mantas sublime acrobatics are only nearly matched by the stealthy and swirling moray eels that also begin circling the lights waiting for their turn to feed on the little fishies that have come to feed on the plankton. It’s like an underwater opera!
Think those Vegas neon lights are cool? Well, they don’t have half the brilliance of Mosquito Bay, Vieques…
Vieques, is a tiny island just east of Puerto Rico that is home to one of the worlds few remaining and most extraordinary bioluminescent bays. Mosquito Bay naturally glows a brighter blue than any man-made electric light you’ll ever see.
Mosquito Bay’s bioluminescence is essentially an over-abundance of what marine biologists call dinoflagellates, microscopic underwater organisms that release energy in the form of light, much the way fireflies do.
Several dinoflagellate species are found in oceans worldwide: on the U.S Atlantic coast, the waters around Borneo and the Sea of Japan.
Although in some places bioluminescence is seasonal, Mosquito Bay glows year-round, thanks to a plentiful population of the species Pyrodinium bahamense, whose name means "whirling fire." Only 1/500 inch in diameter, these organisms flash when agitated, probably as a defense mechanism.
Each flash last only 1/10 second, yet the collective greenish blue radiance can be seen for miles. The reason for this intensity is Mosquito Bay’s high concentration of dinoflagellates 720,000 per gallon.
In other words it is possibly the coolest thing you’ll ever see, and diving or even snorkeling at night in the waters of Mosquito Bay is truly magical.
Whenever you break the water’s surface twinkling dots of bluish-light stream out in every direction like enchanted fairy dust.
So what are you waiting for? Let the sun go down and dive in!
Night Diving Checklist:
- Make sure you get training/review proper night diving planning and procedures with a pro.
- Make sure someone other than your dive buddy knows where you are diving and when you expect to return.
- Always dive with a buddy at night!
- Make sure you are well rested and hydrated before your night dive.
- Make sure each diver has their own primary and back-up lights, with working batteries.
- Make sure each diver has a small safety light or glow stick attached to their tanks so their buddy can keep track of them.
- Make sure you know how to navigate the dive area; how to get back to the boat or the shore area.
- Make sure to relax and have fun!
