SSI Scuba Explorers - Night & Limited Visibility
A continuation of the SCUBA Explorers program: The ocean comes alive at night with creatures that are less seen during the day and the behaviors of animals may change as the sun goes down. Who hunts at night and who is sleeping? And what happens during the Greatest Migration on Earth? Night and Limited Visibility Explorers will learn about how the ocean changes at night and what kinds of equipment and skills divers use after the sun goes down. We will explore the world of bioluminescence and learn how to use UV lights on our simulated reef during our night dive experience.
What To Do Before Class:
Participants must have already completed the introductory, three day SSI Scuba Explorers Program. All waivers must be signed and there must be a current parent or guardian-signed waiver on file.
If it has been close or at least one year since last completed, please update the Diver Medical / Participant Questionnaire at: https://dolphinscuba.com/content/pdf/downloadable-forms/RSTC_MEDICAL_FORM.pdf
What to Expect In Class
The classroom session where students will learn how the ocean changes at night, what equipment is necessary for a night dive, and how to make the most of diving after the sun goes down.
The classroom session will then be followed by a dusk and then night time, in-pool dive session where students will explore a simulated reef with both regular torches (flashlights) and UV lights to experience how the underwater world changes at night.
