In Thailand the night-time sunsets are stunning - but brief. The dark sky arrives around 6.30 p.m. and that is when Pattaya divers journey out to sea for night diving adventures. You might still be exploring a familiar daytime site, but as darkness falls the reef takes on a new perspective at night.
Under the glow of your dive light the 'eerie critters' become active and it feels like a whole new world underwater at nightfall.

Diving at night, or in limited visibility, brings new challenges for the inexperienced. Nonetheless, the rewards of night diving are very different to your favourite site in daylight.
Some of the nocturnal creatures more active at nighttimes - not normally seen in the bright sunshine - include octopus, lobster, crab, shrimps, moray eels, and sharks.
The PADI Night Diver Specialty Certification counts towards the highest rating in recreational diving - the Master Scuba Diver.
