What the day feels like
What the Twilight Dive Feels Like
You board a custom Radon and run a thorough briefing before slipping into water while there is still ambient light. The first dive, typically in the 65‑ to 95‑foot range, lets you catalog daytime reef behavior; after a surface interval aboard the boat with refreshments, you descend again—this time into 35‑ to 60‑foot depths—when night has fallen and nocturnal life has begun its activity. Throughout, a captain and PADI‑certified instructors manage the sequence and equipment so divers can concentrate on the changing marine scene.
