🌙 PADI Night Diver Specialty — Discover Tasmania After Dark Experience an entirely different underwater world with Go Dive Tasmania’s PADI Night Diver Specialty Course. As the sun sets, Tasmania’s reefs transform. Tiny squid emerge from the weed beds, seahorses cling to kelp, crabs and octopus become active, and if you’re lucky, you may even spot the elusive handfish on our local shore dives. Night diving is calm, exciting, and surprisingly peaceful — and once you try it, it often becomes many divers’ favourite type of diving. 🧭 Course Structure — Local Shore Dives This practical specialty course focuses on safe and enjoyable night diving through a series of guided local shore dives.
