Course overview

SSI Night Diving opens up Bali's reefs after sunset, when Tulamben's coral and the USAT Liberty come alive with lionfish, Spanish dancers and crustaceans. Over guided night dives in the calm waters of Tulamben Bay you master torch technique, light signalling and navigation in the dark.
