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.
