night diving
Submerged after sunset
Night diving is scuba diving or free diving conducted after dark, typically with underwater lights.
Divers experience marine environments differently at night—many species emerge only in darkness, and familiar sites take on an unfamiliar character.
Night diving requires additional training and equipment: We did a night dive on the reef and saw octopuses everywhere.
