Simple Questions from new diver

[LKunze]

I don't think you really necessarily need special training to do a night dive in my opinion but I wouldn't do it if you are not real comfortable in the water with your buoyancy and diving skills etc. If you are comfortable in the water and have some daylight dives under your belt before doing a night dive then you should be alright. Personally I did my first night dive before I ever took an advanced class which by the way covers night dives and I was fine. The level of comfort and skills you have as a diver play a key role in the safety and enjoyment you'll experience doing a night dive. Definately let the Divemaster know your lack of experience doing night dives before making the dive so that they can keep an eye on you a little closer. Good Luck, night dives are a lot of fun.
