Course overview

The PADI Night Diver specialty reveals Bali after dark, when the USAT Liberty and Coral Garden transform into hunting grounds for lionfish, Spanish dancers and crustaceans. Across three dives in Tulamben's calm bay you learn to dive with a torch, navigate by night and communicate with light signals. Bali's warm, current-free shore sites make it one of the safest places to earn this rating.
