Get ready for an exhilarating nighttime adventure with Aqua Ventura Divers’ Dauin Shore Nitrox Night Dive! This special experience combines the unique thrill of night diving with the benefits of enriched air (Nitrox), allowing you to extend your bottom time and make the most of Dauin’s captivating underwater ecosystem after dark. Known for its renowned muck diving and incredible macro life, Dauin transforms into a vibrant nocturnal habitat at night, unveiling a cast of unique marine creatures that emerge only after sunset. Whether you’re an experienced diver or relatively new to night diving, this Nitrox night shore dive offers an unparalleled opportunity to explore Dauin’s marine wonders under the stars.

Your journey begins at Aqua Ventura’s dive shop, where you’ll meet our experienced dive guides, all of whom are experts in both night diving and Nitrox use. We’ll kick things off with an informative briefing, covering the fundamentals of night diving, Nitrox diving techniques, and what you can expect to see underwater. Our team will walk you through proper Nitrox tank handling and give you insights into the unique creatures that call Dauin’s nighttime waters home. Once geared up with high-quality equipment, including an underwater flashlight and Nitrox tank, we’ll embark on a shore entry into Dauin’s calm waters.

Diving with Nitrox gives you a significant advantage during this night dive. Because Nitrox contains a higher percentage of oxygen than regular air, it allows for extended bottom time by reducing nitrogen absorption. This means you’ll have more time to immerse yourself in the details of Dauin’s muck sites, where much of the region’s famous macro life resides. It also helps combat fatigue, so you can fully enjoy this thrilling experience. As you descend into the darkened waters, your flashlight will cut through the shadows to reveal Dauin’s nocturnal marine life, often found hiding along the sandy beds and coral patches just offshore.

Dauin’s rich muck sites come alive at night, hosting an array of elusive and unusual creatures. You’re likely to encounter nocturnal critters like the charismatic bobtail squid, whose small, bioluminescent body glows under your flashlight. These tiny squid are a favorite among night divers for their brilliant colors and curious behavior. Our dive guides, skilled in spotting these hard-to-find creatures, will also point out other nocturnal residents, such as snake eels that poke their heads out of the sand in search of prey, or the well-camouflaged decorator crabs that use bits of coral and algae to blend in with their surroundings.

One of the main highlights of a Nitrox night dive is the potential to encounter Dauin’s famous octopus species, including the coconut and mimic octopus. These intelligent creatures are much more active at night and are known for their impressive camouflaging skills. Watching an octopus shift colors and textures in response to its environment is a mesmerizing sight that’s unique to night diving. Photographers will have plenty of opportunities to capture dramatic shots of these creatures in action, with the added time from Nitrox allowing for more chances to observe their fascinating behavior.

As you explore the sandy muck diving sites, you might also come across biofluorescent corals and anemones that glow in the dark when illuminated by blue or UV lights. This phenomenon, known as biofluorescence, adds an ethereal, otherworldly quality to the dive. Some divers opt to bring UV filters to enhance this effect, but even with standard flashlights, the glowing corals and other bioluminescent organisms create a surreal ambiance. Combined with the extended dive time Nitrox offers, you’ll have ample moments to take in these glowing displays and appreciate the magical beauty of Dauin’s seafloor.

During the dive, our guides will also direct your attention to the various crustaceans that become more active at night, including spiny lobsters, hermit crabs, and cleaner shrimp. These creatures are drawn to the reef after dark, taking advantage of the low-light conditions to scavenge for food. Their nocturnal activity offers a different side to Dauin’s marine ecosystem, where familiar species behave in unexpected ways. Observing these animals up close, undisturbed in their natural routines, is a thrilling and humbling experience.

Our Nitrox night dive experience is enhanced by Aqua Ventura’s commitment to eco-friendly practices. Our guides will share sustainable diving techniques, teaching you how to interact with the nocturnal marine life without disturbing their natural behaviors. By observing rather than interacting, divers help to preserve Dauin’s delicate nighttime ecosystem, ensuring these fascinating species continue to thrive.

What to Bring:

  • Swimsuit, towel, and change of clothes
  • Reef-safe sunscreen for pre-dive protection
  • Underwater camera to capture unique nocturnal species

Additional Information:

  • Previous Nitrox experience is recommended but not required; divers must have a night dive certification or equivalent experience.
  • This tour is available year-round, with ideal diving conditions from November to May.
  • Nitrox night dives are suitable for certified divers with experience in shore or night diving.

With Aqua Ventura Divers’ Dauin Shore Nitrox Night Dive, you’ll gain a unique perspective on Dauin’s rich marine biodiversity and explore habitats that reveal themselves only after the sun goes down. Thanks to the extended bottom time Nitrox provides, you’ll have the chance to witness rare, nocturnal marine life in action, from glowing corals to camouflaging octopuses. Join us for an unforgettable night dive, where each shadow holds a new discovery and each moment brings you closer to the magic of Dauin’s marine world.

Your adventure begins at Aqua Ventura’s dive shop, where our experienced dive team will provide a thorough briefing on night diving techniques, safety procedures, and the marine life we might encounter. After gearing up with high-quality dive equipment and underwater flashlights, we’ll embark on a short shore entry into the warm, clear waters of Dauin, where the night dive begins. As the sun sets and the water darkens, you’ll discover an enchanting underwater world that most divers never get to see.

Dauin’s sandy beds and coral patches, which are well-known for their extraordinary critters by day, come alive in entirely new ways at night. Many nocturnal creatures emerge from their daytime hiding spots, offering rare sightings that will amaze and delight divers. One of the highlights of a Dauin shore night dive is the chance to encounter various species of octopus, including the elusive mimic and coconut octopus, both of which are more active at night. These intelligent creatures are known for their ability to blend into their surroundings, but at night, with the help of flashlights, they can be easier to spot as they hunt for prey along the sandy bottom.

Our expert guides, skilled at locating hidden marine life, will lead you to areas where you’re likely to encounter unique creatures like bobtail squid, snake eels, and even the famous decorator crabs, which use surrounding materials to camouflage themselves perfectly. The experience of witnessing these tiny animals in their natural habitat is one of the most exciting aspects of muck diving in Dauin, and night dives offer an extra layer of magic to this already unique diving environment. Photographers will find endless opportunities to capture rare moments, as the nocturnal backdrop creates dramatic lighting for macro photography.

Another thrilling aspect of night diving is the chance to see biofluorescence, where certain corals, anemones, and even fish emit a neon glow under specific lighting. Dauin’s coral patches and soft sand areas provide an ideal setting to observe this natural phenomenon, with bursts of green, red, and blue light illuminating the ocean floor. Some divers opt to bring special UV lights to enhance the fluorescence effect, adding a surreal and otherworldly atmosphere to the dive. Watching the corals glow beneath the water’s surface is a truly mesmerizing experience, transforming Dauin’s coast into an underwater light show.

During the night dive, you’ll likely come across a variety of crustaceans, including spiny lobsters, cleaner shrimp, and hermit crabs, which are more active after dark. These creatures use the cover of night to scavenge for food, and our guides will point out fascinating behaviors that are rarely visible during the day. Additionally, nocturnal fish species such as parrotfish and squirrelfish emerge from their daytime hiding spots, allowing divers to witness the rich diversity of Dauin’s marine life up close.

Our night dive also includes the chance to witness some of Dauin’s famous resident fish species at rest. Parrotfish, for example, often sleep in mucous cocoons to protect themselves from predators, creating an intriguing sight as you drift by. Observing these behaviors in a peaceful, dimly lit environment is a reminder of the delicate balance of marine ecosystems and the importance of conservation.

To make the most of this immersive night dive experience, Aqua Ventura provides all the essentials, including underwater flashlights, high-quality dive gear, and knowledgeable guides with years of experience in night diving. We ensure that our divers feel safe and comfortable as they explore this mysterious and thrilling underwater landscape.
