The SSI Night Diver pathway

SSI Night Diving combines digital learning with in-water night dives and certifies you as an SSI Night Diving specialty diver, recorded in your SSI app. It counts toward SSI Specialty Diver and Master Diver recognition.

Where you'll dive in Seychelles

Night dives use Mahe's calm reefs near Beau Vallon, where octopus, lobster and morays emerge over the granite and coral after dark in warm 26-30C water. Settled evenings around April-May and September-November are best.
