See the Great Barrier Reef transform after dark with the PADI Night Diver specialty in Cairns, where overnight liveaboard trips put you over the reef as the day shift gives way to the night shift. Across the required night dives you learn to use lights, navigate in the dark and identify nocturnal creatures such as crustaceans, hunting reef sharks and cuttlefish. It is an unforgettable way to experience familiar sites at sites like Flynn and Milln Reef in a whole new light.
The PADI Night Diver specialty requires three night dives and can credit one dive toward the Advanced Open Water Night adventure dive. Liveaboards based out of Cairns are ideal because you are already moored over the reef when darkness falls.
Night dives are run from Cairns overnight liveaboards moored at outer reef sites such as Flynn and Milln Reef, where the reef comes alive after dark with hunting reef sharks, crustaceans and cuttlefish in calm conditions during the high season.
