                night diving, offering visitors the chance to not only
                see the bioluminescence of the marine life at night,
                but also the fluorescence of marine life and corals
                that  can  be  seen  only  with  special  black  or  blue
                lights. It’s a discovery dive, as you will experience

                Exploring the reefs in the day time is a marvel, but at
                night all those critters that are hard to find during the
                day are out and about. See octopus, crabs, lobsters,
                brittle stars, free swimming eels, feeding coral with
                their  polyps  open  and  waiting.  It’s  an  experience
                not to be missed.
