Why PADI Night Diver?

When you go night diving you'll see a whole new world. Even your local dive site takes on a new personality at night, as many underwater creatures and plant life (different from those you see during the day) are active at night. Here in Pattaya, Thailand many crustaceans cover the corals and sand.

A night dive can be combined in many other areas also. Mermaids Dive Center Pattaya, Thailand offer night dives on the Hardeep Shipwreck. This is a wonderful ship wreck in Samesan with much marine life. To scuba dive this at night is very special indeed.

You'll also learn how to control your buoyancy, navigate and communicate (Signaling takes practice) at night. Since many of the plants and animals you'll see are different, you'll also get an introduction to nocturnal aquatic life.

For PADI scuba dive instructors: Mermaids have witnessed that the scuba dive industry prefers to take diving instructors on for dive employment from the MSDT level and higher. Although it is possible to achieve dive jobs directly from an IDC (Instructor Development Course), dive shop employers are more likely to offer a dive vacancy to a pro- diver that has more experience. The MSDT scuba diving rating displays that the dive instructor has good experience teaching dive students. The MSDT internship with PADI specialty diver courses can assist in your scuba dive career.
