Detailed Scuba Dive Trip Description

Grab your underwater flashlight and head to Dive Paradise…. Live, from the reef, it’s Cozumel After Dark!

Get ready for the kind of wild nightlife you won’t find at Señor Frog’s or Margaritaville.

We’ll dive one tank on a shallow reef: either Paradise, Chankanaab or Yucab. We’ll descend just before dark, so you have a few minutes to adjust to the fading light.

Forty feet down, it’s go-go-go on the reef. It’s a mad rush hour during the shift change…

The day crew is calling it quits. The sun worshippers are looking for a safe place to tuck in for the night. The night crew rolls out of bed hungry, eager to feed.

The reef has switched into dark mode. On the bottom, what’s the first thing you notice? An explosion of color everywhere you point your light.

On board we serve complimentary snacks and purified water.

Need a primary dive light or a spare? Need rental equipment? Ask in advance, and your gear will be waiting for you when you board.

Detailed Scuba Dive Trip Itinerary

During the day, natural sunlight is rendered blue as it filters through the 50-foot column of sea water. At night, your dive lamp is a portable mini sun. As you shine your light, close-up, on the fish and corals, you see the brilliant, vivid, true colors of the reef. In Cozumel, these colors are dazzling.

And you notice movement everywhere you shine your lamp. Welcome to the amazing world of “they only come out at night.”

The stony corals that appeared rock-like by day, look different at night. They’re alive! The polyps shimmer and move — in gentle waves of color. They open to feed like flowers, as they draw in the nutrients from the currents.

During the day, the giant moray eels, lobsters and spider crabs doze out of sight, in their hidey holes. At night, these king-size creatures move out into the open. It’s Clash Of The Titans as these brutes battle for food and mating rights

Clouds of squid and cuttlefish shimmer in your light. They turn amazing iridescent colors as they flutter in the currents

A lone octopus dances down the reef, shape-shifting right before your eyes. Shine your light on Mister Eight and you may see him shift colors as he dials in his camo, to match the background. He’s trying to hide.

A giant basket starfish unfolds a tangle of tendrils to feed in the currents. Is this tentacled monstrosity some sci-fi nightmare from the movie “Alien?” — waiting to attach to the next human face that comes too close. No, but it looks creepy.
At the end of the dive, you approach the surface for the safety stop. You swirl your hands in the current. Tiny organisms spark up, like microscopic fireflies. The grand finale for your night dive is a private fireworks show — courtesy of Mother Ocean and the magic of bioluminescence.

After the dive, the boat speeds home. We’ll drop you back at your hotel in time for a refreshing shower, dinner and a lively night on the town.

If you’ve never done a night dive in Cozumel, this is the experience that a deserves a spot on your bucket list.
At Dive Paradise, we entrust guests to the care of our certified, in-water Divemasters. Their goal is to guide you on a safe, pleasurable night dive.

Never a crowd with Dive Paradise… We provide one Divemaster for each six divers on Night Dives. If a group exceeds six, we split it in two and send an extra Divemaster. That way, we keep groups small underwater.

Count on us for spacious boats, with lots of elbow room to spread out. On night dives, our vessels are well lighted from stem to stern, including the wide dive platforms and boarding ladders.

We need a minimum of four divers to offer this trip. If we don’t fill this minimum, we offer four options: you may cover the cost of the vacant diver spots, reschedule, arrange a rain check for same dive, or request a refund.

How do you select dive sites?

It’s “divers’ choice” — Divemasters present options and look for a friendly consensus. When necessary, the crew may select the dive sites, in consideration of safety factors such as strong currents or weather.
