The SSI Night Diver pathway

SSI Night Diving is delivered free through the digital app with performance-based repeatable dives and certifies with an SSI digital specialty card toward Specialty Diver recognition.

Where you'll dive in Neil Island

Night dives run on Neil's calm, shallow reefs such as Nemo Reef (5-12 m) and Coral Safari (5-20 m), prime spots to find reef octopus and feeding crustaceans after dark. Still November-May seas and 27-30C water keep night dives comfortable.
