Have you ever wondered what happens beneath the surface of the Red Sea after the sun goes down? Night diving in Sharm El Sheikh offers a unique opportunity to witness the dramatic transformation of the underwater world. As the day’s inhabitants retreat, a different cast of creatures emerges, offering an unparalleled experience for adventurous divers. Join Scorpion Dive Club as we explore the magic of night diving and reveal the secrets that unfold after dark.

The Changes in Marine Life Behavior at Night

The underwater world undergoes a fascinating transformation at night. Many diurnal (daytime) creatures find shelter, while nocturnal animals emerge to hunt and feed. Some notable changes include:

  • Nocturnal Predators: See nocturnal predators such as moray eels, hunting and searching for prey.
  • Sleeping Reef Fish: Observe reef fish such as parrotfish, nestled into crevices.
  • Crustacean Activity: Crabs, shrimps, and other crustaceans become much more active at night, searching for food along the reef.
  • Bioluminescence: You may also witness bioluminescent organisms, creating stunning underwater light shows.

The Equipment Needed for Night Diving

Night diving requires some specialized equipment to ensure safety and visibility:

 

  • Primary Dive Light: A powerful waterproof light to illuminate your surroundings.
  • Backup Dive Light: A secondary light source, as a backup in case of equipment malfunction.
  • Tank Markers: Attach reflective markers to your tank for improved visibility for other divers.
  • Dive Computer: Essential for tracking your depth, bottom time, and decompression status, as the dark can make it more difficult to maintain awareness of your surroundings.
  • Appropriate Exposure Protection: The water can feel cooler at night, so consider wearing a slightly thicker wetsuit, or a dry suit for colder temperatures.

Safety Procedures and Guidelines for Night Dives

Safety is paramount when diving at night. Always follow these guidelines:

 

  • Dive with a Buddy: Never dive alone; always dive with a buddy you trust.
  • Pre-Dive Planning: Discuss the dive plan, route, hand signals, and emergency procedures with your dive buddy before entering the water.
  • Maintain Good Communication: Stay close to your dive buddy and maintain clear communication throughout the dive.
  • Know Your Limits: Stay within your comfort zone and skill level. Never push yourself too hard, and always call the dive if you are feeling uncomfortable.
  • Use Proper Lighting: Always ensure that your primary dive light is working properly, and ensure you have a backup light.
